Police investigate Orange wildfires

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a string of suspicious wildfires near Orange, in the state’s central west.

No one was injured nor any property damaged when several fires broke out on Forbes Road between 3.45pm and 4pm (AEST) on Saturday but at least two were close to homes and infrastructure.

One blaze came within 10 metres of the property line before fire crews got to it.

A 43-year-old Forbes man was found nearby and is assisting police with inquiries as they investigate the cause of the fires.

Officers are particularly keen to hear from witnesses who may have seen a man described as being of Caucasian appearance and medium build, with grey or brown hair and wearing, dark pants and a dark blue winter coat, who was standing or walking on Forbes Road.
