Detectives investigating fires in the Nanango area have arrested and charged a Rural Fire Service volunteer.<\/p>\n

Police will allege that about 10:30pm on September 21, two grass fires were deliberately lit on the signposted rail trail link between Nanango and Kingaroy, the southern side of Nanango-Brooklands Road.<\/p>\n

Police allege one fire was about 30m x 30m wide, while the second was about 10m x 8m wide.<\/p>\n

The two fires were about 150 metres apart.<\/p>\n

A short time later police were called to a property on Wilson Drive in Nanango where a third fire had allegedly been deliberately lit in a skip bin.<\/p>\n

The fire was extinguished, leaving the skip bin damaged.<\/p>\n

Officers from QFES attended and extinguished all three fires, preventing further damage to property.<\/p>\n

On September 22, police spoke to a rural fire volunteer.<\/p>\n

The volunteer was arrested and charged with two counts of lighting an unauthorised fire and one count of wilful damage.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old Nanango man is due to appear in Nanango Magistrates Court on October 31.<\/p>\n
