Fire has destroyed a unit at Jesmond overnight.
Firefighters were called to a two storey six unit complex in Harvard Close just before 1.00am today (Wednesday 10 September, 2025) to find unit 4 engulfed in flames.
Newcastle Fire Command says the occupants of all the units were safely evacuated and no-one was injured.
Around 30 firefighters took more than an hour to bring the blaze under control.
Two neighbouring units also sustained structural damage.
Police have set up a crime scene as investigations continue into the cause of the fire.
