Sunshine Coast detectives are investigating the cause of four suspicious bushfires in the past two weeks.
Police say their initial investigations indicate a fire at Beerwah on Sunday, October 29th was deliberately lit near Stokes Road at around 10.30am.
Further, officers are investigating whether another fire in the Beerwah/Landsborough area on October 28th was also deliberately lit near a forestry clearing on Dianella Road and Roys Road, Beewah around 1pm.
This fire caused police to issue a Public Safety Preservation Act (PSPA) later that night.
“Officers are also investigating whether a grass fire was sparked on Sattler Road in Meridan Plains earlier last week, on October 23, just before 9pm, after an offender tried to gain entry to a business by cutting the locks to a fence,” Queensland Police said in a statement.
“The building was destroyed by fire, however emergency crews managed to contain the fire to that building and a small, grassed area nearby.Â
“And lastly, officers are treating a bushfire in Beerwah on October 21 as suspicious. It’s believed that fire started around 2pm near Roys Road.”
Anyone with information about these fires is being urged to contact police.
