In Gunnedah, a team was called out to a blaze on Finch Street at around 12:15am on Sunday, and were on the scene for just over 35 minutes until the flames were extinguished.

Damage was restricted to one car, and the incident is now being investigated by police.

The fire in Armidale was more troublesome however, with crews having to attend the same address on both Friday and Saturday nights.
