Bendigo detectives have appealed for public assistance following two separate fires in bushland east of Bendigo on Boxing Day last year.
Firefighters were called to two separate bushfires near Munroe Road, Mandurang just before 7:30am on Thursday, December 26, 2025.
Later that evening, at 5:45pm firefighters were called to a fire in the Wellsford Forest, east of Bendigo.
No one was injured. Both fires were quickly extinguished.
The fires are being treated as suspicious. Investigators believe the fires were deliberately lit.
Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have information.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
