Fire has caused extensive damage to a unit at Kurri Kurri overnight.

Newcastle Fire Command says 6 trucks were called to a duplex on Burns Street just after 7.30pm on Monday (1 June  2026) to find one of the units up in flames.

It's taken 25 firefighters around 90 minutes to fully extinguish the blaze which they managed to contain to the one unit.

All residents were for and no-one was injured.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
