Two people fled their burning home in Melbourne’s north early on Wednesday morning after a car rammed into an adjoining shop and was set alight.
“We were just screaming to each other: ‘There’s people in the back!’” Sahinkaya said. The neighbours rushed to alert those inside, but initially heard nothing.In a statement, Victoria Police said two men were seen trying to douse a Ford Ranger with liquid after it was crashed into the shop. “A man and woman who live in a residence attached to the milk bar luckily weren’t injured,” they said.
Firefighters found the Al Marjan Restaurant on the Hume Highway “well alight” shortly before 4.30am. Fire Rescue Victoria said the fire took 30 minutes to control and triggered a community advice message.“The restaurant has been extensively damaged, but firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading to an adjoining car wash,” FRV said.
