A home has been destroyed in an overnight fire at Edgeworth.
Fire crews from Cardiff, Wallsend, Minmi and Teralba were called to the single level home on Croudace Street at 12.30am on Thursday to find the house totally involved in fire.
It took two hours for crews to extinguish and mop up the blaze.
Newcastle Fire Command says no-one was injured and it's believed the vacant home was frequently used by squatters, although no-one was found inside.
Sadly though, firefighters found a deceased dog inside the property.
Investigations into the cause of the fire are continuing
