Although it is a pretty safe bet that it was a deliberatly lit fire the FIO being there doesnt mean it is. Generally speaking the FIO will not attend deliberately lit fires if its obvious, same as fires in derelict buildings. The FIO attends to suspicious or unknown causes of fire. If it is determined as deliberate it is handed over to the police arson squad, where the FIO might liase with. For example if we go to a fire and we can see it is deliberatly lit and ask for the FIO, he more likely than not will not come but the arson squad will instead. Just a bit of info to help people understand his role

correction fio wasnt in attendence bfsa liason officer and dec ppl ther lookin for cause, i know it was delibretly lit due to them sayin to all our vehciels stay out of the area even thought we.d been through and mopped up the whole section lol

Don't know but saw it on the way home. Was it in Stratton? Looked further north than that, perhaps Swan Valley (but my geography in that area is pretty hazy).

Talbot Reserve in Stratton.

Currently 3rd alarm, are discussing upgrading to 4th Alarm properties under threat. Watsonia Spearwood Oil storage shed is directly under threat.

I managed to drive the whole area before taking photos and didnt come accross any police. Although they may be there now as this was 30 mins ago. Lots of people have come to have a look though. Streets are packed
