A fire at an unoccupied home in Hampton Park last week has caught the attention of police.
The Hampton Park Fire Brigade responded to the incident just before midnight on Thursday 15 December on Hampton Drive.
“Crews arrived to find significant smoke issuing from the roof. Initial internal searches were conducted and fortunately no one was inside and the property was abandoned,” the brigade said on its Facebook page.
“With help from our supporting crews we were able to contain the spread and extinguish the fire quickly, ensuring there were no injuries or risk to surrounding properties.”
An arson chemist attended the property on Friday 16 December to inspect the scene. Police confirmed on Tuesday 20 December that the investigation into the cause remains ongoing.
