Suspicious fire at Rutherford

BY JESSICA ROUSE

Central Hunter Police are investigating a suspicious fire at Rutherford.

Fire crews were called to a two storey Compass Housing complex in Churchill Crescent at 10:30 last night to find a fire in a top storey unit.

The occupant wasn't home at the time, and it took crews about two hours to extinguish and mop up the blaze which caused extensive damage to the single bedroom unit.
