An investigation is under way into an early-morning house fire at Raymond Terrace.
Fire crews and five trucks were called to Kangaroo Street just after 3.00am today (Wednesday 4 March 2026) to find smoke issuing from the single level weatherboard home.
Newcastle Fire Command says they managed to contain the flames to the back right hand corner of the home, taking around 45 minutes to bring the blaze under control.
It's understood the resident was not home when the fire broke out.
Police are treating the fire as suspicious - crews attended a fire call at the home at week ago.
