Crews were called to a fire on May 27 in the front yard of the Pacific Nation office in Railway Avenue.
Gunnedah Fire and Rescue Captain Dave Welch told The Namoi Valley Independent it is crucial that locals report any suspicious activity.
“We need to make sure that the public call 000 even if there hasn’t been a fire,” Captain Welch said.
“It’s so we can check there are no hidden 'hotspots' at the scene with our thermal imaging camera and make sure the atmosphere is safe to breathe using our multi head gas detector.
“Please make sure you call 000 for any suspicious behavior and report all fires and emergencies promptly so they can be dealt with in the best way possible.”
