Fire crews were called out to Benton on Sunday afternoon after a kitchen fire at a home on Cosgrove Court.
Residents were seen standing on the street looking on as two fire crews from Gosforth and Byker respectively worked to put the blaze out, which is believed to have been started by cooking being left unattended.
ChronicleLive understands that the smoke severely damaged the kitchen and spread to the rest of the house. But thankfully, nobody was injured.
