Police and firefighters have been called to several blazes in Muswellbrook this month, a NSW Police spokesperson said.
Detectives believe the incidents may be linked and are treating the fires as suspicious as the investigation continues.

On June 11, emergency services were called to Bridge Street about 2am after reports a fire had broken out in a shopping trolley. The exterior of the nearby building was left with a burn mark as a result.
Emergency services were again called two days later, about 1.20am on June 13, to reports three vehicles had been set on fire on Cook, Newman and George streets. All vehicles were extensively damaged and could not be driven.
