Fire has caused damage to a tobacco and convenience store in New Lambton.
Newcastle Fire Command says 5 fire trucks from Lambton and Newcastle were called to the New Lambton Mart on Alma Road, arriving just after 2.30am today (Monday 18 May 2026) to find smoke coming from the roller doors.
Crews cut the doors to gain access, taking about 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze.
No-one was injured during the incident.
The cause has not yet been determined but it's thought the fire is not being treated as suspicious.
