Six people have been evacuated after a fire broke out in a Chinese restaurant at Hamilton.
Newcastle Fire Command says seven trucks from Newcastle, Carrington, Lambton and Merewether were sent to the Beaumont Street restaurant just before 8.30pm on Wednesday 15 April, 2025 to reports of a fire in the kitchen.
Three crews with hoses took just over 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze which was confined to the kitchen area.
No-one was injured.
The fire is not being treated as suspicious.
