 BY IAN CROUCH

Police are investigating a suspicious car fire at the John Hunter Hospital this morning (Wednesday 12 May, 2021).

A departing Ambulance crew noticed the car ablaze in the Upper Level Car Park opposite the Emergency Department at 3.45am.

Two fire trucks from Lambton attended, taking about half an hour to put out the flames, with crews wearing breathing apparatus smothering the fire with foam.

They managed to contain the fire to the car and no other vehicles or the car park were damaged.  

It's believed the vehicle belongs to a member of staff at the hospital.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
