Firefighters have managed to contain a fire which broke out at a wrecking yard at Kooragang this morning.
Crews responded to reports a large amount of smoke could be seen coming out of a building on Sandpiper Close just after 11:00am on Wednesday the 2nd of August, and arrived to find the structure on fire.
It's understood they had to enter the building from the ground and found batteries and car parts alight inside.
One man was reportedly treated by ambulance paramedics at the scene for smoke inhalation before being transport to hospital.
Crews say there's been no contaminated runoff into the Hunter River.
