Firefighters Tackle Building Blaze In Jesmond
Firefighters have been praised after they helped extinguish a huge fire in Newcastle – after responding to a call in a matter of minutes.
In the early hours of Monday, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) received a call about a fire at a building in Jesmond.
Just after 1.30am crews were told that the building on Bemersyde Drive, that had previously been a gymnasium and was undergoing construction, was ablaze.
Firefighters from Gosforth and Newcastle Central Community Fire Stations deployed and were on the scene in just eight minutes. They used specialist equipment, and an Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) appliance, to extinguish the fire after battling the blaze for a number of hours.
Group Manager Andy Lillford said “This was a great effort from everyone involved, from our Fire Control who took the call to our crews who responded. Due to the size and nature of the fire, we had over 30 firefighters in attendance and they were on scene for a number of hours. They were able to quickly contain the fire, prevent it from spreading and eventually extinguish it. Thankfully, there was no one in building at the time of the fire and nobody has reported to have been injured. It was a fantastic job by everyone involved and shows just how quickly we can respond to incidents of this nature to keep our communities safe. But we also want to thank residents in the area who followed our advice and kept windows and doors closed. There was a significant amount of smoke because of the scale of the fire and those small steps do keep you safe.There is a small presence at the scene this morning and we will continue to carry out enquiries to establish the cause of the fire.”
The TWFRS has praised its crews for their quick response and quick thinking.
The parents of Bradley Lowery have been left “very upset” after a photo showing a couple of Sheffield Wednesday fans showed mocking their late son.
Lynn Murphy Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer of The Bradley Lowery Foundation told Chronicle Live that Bradley’s parents Gemma and Carl Lowery were “very upset” following what happened.
“Bradley’s family are aware of the image circulating around social media, and are understandably very upset.”
“At the age of just 6 years old, Bradley brought the football community together, with his infectious smile and personality, so to see the image of him being portrayed in this light is extremely upsetting for everyone who knew and loved him.
“We are grateful to Sheffield Wednesday in their quick condemnation of the actions of the people involved.
“We continue to have a good relationship with the football club, and understand this is an isolated incident and we thank the wider football community for their continued support of the Bradley Lowery Foundation.”

Sheffield Wednesday have launched an investigation with the police following the footage:
“We are aware of the images circulating and have launched an immediate investigation together with South Yorkshire Police. We roundly condemn this outrageous and utterly deplorable behaviour. We can only apologise for the undoubted distress caused to Bradley’s family and friends.”

Newcastle United have released CGI Images of what they hope will be the new fan zone.
You can see our reaction to it below – let us know your thoughts on our Youtube channel.
In the statement put out by NUFC it states – Designs for ‘St James’ STACK powered by Sela’ were officially unveiled to members of the public, local residents and neighbouring businesses with a mix of internal and external images displayed inside the stadiums Magpie Suite.
This significant step in the planning process also gave those an opportunity to provide face-to-face feedback to senior Newcastle United and STACK representatives as part of the formal planning.
If approved the fan zone will introduce a thriving food, rink and entertainment option for supporters visiting matches at St James Park as well as creating a bustling midweek leisure and social destination synonymous with the stack brand. It will be supported by the club’s front of shirt partner Sela.
Built using repurposed shipping containers around a central plaza and main stage area. St James Powered by Sela will be temporary construction that will attract people of all ages, with carefully curated events and attractions designed for families.

We were at the first Saudi International football match to be played at St James Park on the 8th September where Saudi Arabia played Costa Rica.
The match was controversial as normally home international games are played at their own country however it a sign of the strengthening relationship with Saudi Arabia and Newcastle united in a move that is beneficial for both parties with Newcastle United able to bring in more income and therefore more allowance for FFP as well as increasing a NUFC fanbase internationally and in Saudi.
At the event were Newcastle Sports Washing Group – as well as our usual speaking to fans before the game we spoke to two of them, the head of the organisation and then also we captured footage which saw a confrontation between NUFC fans and the sports washing group – we managed to get their response to what their ambitions were.
We would note this was a very small group and protest but were getting national coverage as Sky Sports and others were interviewing them. The Saudi fans that we spoke to either did not want to talk about the controversy or mentioned how its unfair that the spot light is in Saudi when there are so much wrongs all over the world from other countries. We have out two videos below, let us know in the YouTube videos comment section our thoughts – we read and respond to all comments and follow our You Tube channel for not only NUFC content but everything NUFC with lots of great local videos..
