Police have been called to reports of explosions and a fire in two office buildings in Gosford on the NSW Central Coast

Police are investigating reports of explosions in an office block and a fire that led to the evacuation of another office building on the same street.

At about 2.20pm on Thursday emergency services were called to an office building on Donnison Street, Gosford on the NSW Central Coast, following reports of several explosions. 

The building was evacuated and no injuries were reported as a result of the explosions.

A short time later, police were called to a separate office building on Donnison Street following reports of a fire and of smoke coming out of the third floor.

Fire and Rescue NSW said the building’s fire alarm had been activated and a number of triple-0 calls were received. 

No other injuries were reported.
