House Destroyed In Suspicious Fire At Muswellbrook

BY IAN CROUCH

A fire which destroyed a house at Muswellbrook overnight is being treated as suspicious.

Emergency services were called to the single storey brick and tile home on Wybong Way just before 9.30pm on Sunday to find flames through the roof.

3 Fire and Rescue crews from Aberdeen and Muswellbrook and a crew from the Edinglassie RFS took about an hour and a half to extinguish and mop up the blaze.

No-one was injured.

Meanwhile crews were also called to a truck fire on Maitland Street at Muswellbrook just before 2.00am on Monday.

Newcastle Fire Command says the fire was contained to the engine bay of the prime mover.
