Car fires on Patonga Drive
The Pearl Beach rural fire brigade has attended two car fires on Patonga Dr in little over a week.
The first was in the carpark for Van Dahl's Firetrail at 11:48pm on Saturday, May 13,.
Crews from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 340 Umina and Kariong Rural Fire Brigade attended and extinguished the vehicle.
The second was in the carpark for the Umina Point lookout on Patonga Drive at 10:33pm on Monday, May 22.
The Pearl Beach Brigade arrived shortly after the crew from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 340 Umina, who had made quick work of extinguishing the grey SUV.
Cool and calm conditions, the positioning of the vehicle and the prompt response by Fire and Rescue NSW saw the fire contained to just the vehicle.
In neither case did the fire spread into the surrounding bush.
Anyone with information about the fires was asked to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.
