Police are treating a fire which destroyed a caravan at Kurri Kurri early Monday morning as suspicious.

Fire crews arrived in Brooks Street just after 2 o’clock to find the caravan, which was parked on the street, engulfed in flames.

There were concerns about a couple of gas cylinders, but firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze without further incident.

Meanwhile, a boat stored in a shed at Singleton went up in flames late yesterday.

Crews were called to George Street just before 5.30pm on Sunday to find both well alight.

The shed was attached to a home which suffered smoke damage.

Police closed the New England Highway while crews battled the flames, which took about 2 hours to extinguish.
