BREAKING! More Than 100 Firefighters Battle Fire At Glendale Technology High School

 BY IAN CROUCH

Dozens of firefighters are battling a major fire at the Glendale Technology High School.

Newcastle Fire Command says they received four triple-zero calls to the fire just after 1.00am today (Monday 20 April 2026), arriving to find a two storey building up in flames.

Around 120 firefighters from stations across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie are battling the flames with Central Coast stations on stand-by.

The roof of the building collapsed at the height of the blaze as crews worked to save adjoining buildings.

There are no reports of injuries.

A spokesperson for Fire and Rescue NSW says it's one of the largest fires in the Newcastle area in recent years.  

The Fire and Rescue Investigation Unit and Police will look into the cause of the fire once it's safe to do so.

A crime scene has been established.
