Police hunt for firebug

POLICE are examining the circumstances surrounding a series of suspicious fires that have occurred in Warragul over the past few weeks.
Members of the CFA and police were called to a disused public pool in Albert Road just after midnight when they found a large hedge alight.
The CFA brought the fire under control and the area is now being assessed by fire investigators.
This is the seventh fire in the vicinity in the last three weeks. The other fires have been of a similar nature, involving trees and hedges in the Albert Road area.
