Batemans Bay police confirm detectives are investigating four highly suspicious fires that occurred at two adjoining properties on Grant St in just 14 days.

Broulee volunteer rural fire officers and police were called to the first fire at the family home of a woman and her children on October 24.

Two nights later they were called twice to put out fires at her rented property in which a shed burned down under mysterious circumstances.

Last Sunday the rear shed of the next door neighbour’s unattended holiday property was destroyed in a blaze at 12.30pm. Its owners were home in Canberra and were notified by police but are yet to visit the scene.

The woman, who is now a victim of three fires, did not want to be named and would only say “I don’t know” when asked about the incidents.

“I’ve got enough stress on me. I just can’t deal with it, it’s unfair,” she said before going inside her house.

Detective Simon Davies has asked for anyone with information to contact Batemans Bay police or CrimeStoppers.

He said the first fire destroyed a section of the woman’s rear fence. Two nights later on October 26 police and fire officers were called to her house twice within two hours when fire destroyed more of the timber fence and a dog kennel.

The second fire at 11.40pm caused thousands of dollars damage when it destroyed her storage shed and contents.

The fourth fire, on Sunday, November 6, destroyed a second shed at the home of the woman’s next door neighbour.

Det Davies said the house received significant damage to its timber cladding and crime scene specialists had examined the scene of the fires.

He said it was too early to say whether an accelerant had been used but police had seized exhibits.

Det Davies said police were following a number of lines of inquiry. He would not comment when asked whether there are any indications of someone being targeted or threatened.

“Yes it is of concern to residents as lives are put at risk,” he said.

Broulee Rural Fire Service captain Paul Cannon said RFS volunteers from Moruya, and Moruya Fire and Rescue officers all helped the Broulee crew stop Sunday’s fire spreading to the house.

“We got there quickly but it (shed) was well ablaze. The side of the house was on fire and the window already gone. It took us an hour to have it totally contained,” Mr Cannon said.

“Mattresses in the bedroom had caught alight and it was very lucky they had the bedroom door closed.”

The fire captain confirmed his crew had attended four fires in Grant St - commenting “it is very strange”.
