Police are investigating a fire which destroyed a home at Medowie overnight.
Several RFS and Fire and Rescue crews were called to the single level weatherboard and tile home in Silver Wattle Drive just after 5.30pm on Monday to find the house and a Toyota Landcruiser up in flames.
It's not clear at this stage if anyone was home when the fire broke out.
Crews worked for three hours to extinguish and mop up the blaze, which also caused minor damage to a neighbouring property.
Police say no-one was injured and a crime scene has been established as investigations continue
Newcastle Fire Command says there were numerous rubbish fires at the rear of the home when crews arrived.
