A busy night for fire crews in Geelong’s northern suburbs, with three fires handed to police for investigation.
FRV were called to a house fire on Sparks Road, Norlane just before 10:30pm on Thursday, arriving on scene within four minutes to find smoke and flames issuing from a house.
A primary search confirmed nobody was inside, the incident deemed Under Control at 10:41pm.
The incident has been deemed suspicious.
Just an hour later, FRV responded to reports of a fire on a nature strip on the Princes Highway in Corio and arrived to find items left outside a vacant property alight.
They were called to the scene at 11:36pm, with a stop issued 10 minutes later.
The scene was again handed to police for investigation.
Crews were later called to Norlane again, this time to Rose Avenue, to a house fire at a 5m x 10m single-storey weatherboard dwelling.
Called in just after 4:20am, firefighters were on scene within six minutes, working to extinguish the flames and make the scene safe before leaving it in the hands of investigators.
Anyone with information on any of the three incidents has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppers.vic.com.au.
