Today's Video Focus: Northern Territory Police were called to respond to a major disturbance at Darwin's Don Dale youth detention centre on Tuesday night where a fire later broke out. The facility was surrounded by emergency crews, including ambulance officers and firefighters who were called out to the incident just before 7:00pm. A Northern Territory Hazardous Chemicals vehicle also attended the scene. A number of detainees were seen on the roof earlier in the evening, with what appeared to be smoke visible at the entry of the centre. By 10:00pm two buildings appeared to be ablaze. Just after midnight, multiple detainees were seen being escorted from the facility in police vehicles.
