Investigations continue into suspicious blaze at Hamilton

BY JESSICA ROUSE

Investigations are continuing into what police believe is a suspicious fire in Hamilton over the weekend.

Emergency services were called to a unit block on Fowler Street just after 7:30pm on Saturday where they found the unit well alight.

Several units were evacuated before NSW Fire and Rescue extinguished the blaze.

No one was injured, but there is extensive damage throughout the unit block.

Just after 9pm, investigators arrested a 41-year-old man. He was taken to John Hunter Hospital for treatment of unrelated injuries, and he has since been released. The man is assisting police with their inquiries.
