POLICE are investigating a suspicious car fire in Springvale South early Thursday morning.
The white Toyota HiAce Commuter van was parked in the driveway of a home on Waddington Crescent when a loud explosion was heard around 12.25am.
The owner ran outside to find the van engulfed in flames and a small area of the garage on fire.
CFA attended and extinguished the blaze, which gutted the car and caused minor damage to the garage and contents.
A family was inside the house at the time, however no-one was injured.
The Arson Squad and chemical experts later examined the scene, along with detectives from the local CIU.
