With local anxiety about the bushfire season already running at 11 out of 10, officers from the South Coast Police District are appealing to the public for assistance in relation to a number of suspicious fires in the Ulladulla area.

Local police, with the assistance from the Arson Unit, have commenced an investigation into nine bushfires believed to have been deliberately lit at the South Pacific Heathland Reserve over the last three months.

No injuries have been reported to police from these incidents.
