The group then received community funds in 1991 to purchase the building where the temple was later rebuilt. Fire and Rescue Victoria confirmed investigations were ongoing as it remains unclear whether the fire was done on purpose. "There is a large contingent of emergency services in the area and Springvale Road, Springvale South, is closed," a statement read on Sunday night "Crews were called to the place of worship in Springvale Road about 8pm and arrived to find a large multi storey building ablaze."
