Two fires one night

Emergency services were kept busy in the early hours of Tuesday, after two separate fires broke out in Clyde North within minutes of each other.

The first incident occurred about 1.05am on Tuesday 24 June, on Casting Way, where CFA crews responded to reports of a warehouse fire.

On arrival, firefighters found the premises well alight, with explosions heard as the blaze took hold.

A CFA spokesperson said three CFA units from Berwick and Clyde, supported by Fire Rescue Victoria, worked to contain the fire, bringing it under control by 1.25am and declaring the scene safe shortly before 3am.

The scene has since been handed over to Victoria Police.

Just minutes later, at 1.12am, CFA units were called to a car fire on Verdant Drive, also in Clyde North.

Firefighters from Berwick and Beaconsfield quickly extinguished the burning vehicle, with the scene deemed safe by 1.33am.

According to Victoria Police, the exact cause of the fire on Casting Way is being investigated, but is being treated as suspicious at this stage.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Star News is not suggesting the two incidents are linked.

Anyone with information or anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the area, with dashcam/CCTV footage or information, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
