Kurri Kurri Hotel fire damages historic Hunter pub

Kurri Kurri Hotel Hunter Valley Fire and Rescue NSW heritage building fire Lang Street

A fire broke out at the Kurri Kurri Hotel on Lang Street before dawn on Saturday, October 31. Fire and Rescue NSW crews arrived at the scene around 4:30 am to combat the blaze.

The fire reached the roof cavity but was largely contained to the kitchen and dry storage areas. Firefighters worked to extinguish and ventilate the three-storey Federation-style building, which helped prevent significant damage to its historic elements.

No injuries were reported as the pub was unoccupied at the time. The hotel will remain closed until further notice due to the kitchen area being blocked off. Police are expected to assess the scene as authorities investigate the cause of the fire, though it is not yet known if the incident was malicious.
