Gym blaze ‘intense’

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

PHOTOS taken at the scene of a suspicious fire at a gym in Berwick this week have been released.
Fire crews from Berwick, Dandenong, Hallam and Bayswater attended the blaze at Funtastic Gymnastics on Enterprise Avenue, about 8.30pm on 2 February, after flames were seen.
CFA District 8 acting operations officer Andrew Turner said the fire gutted two small factories.
Minor damage was also caused to adjoining buildings.
“The fuel loads inside the building like foam mattresses caused a lot of heat and thick black smoke to issue from the building,” Mr Turner said.
“It was an intense, confined space fire.”
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
