Vic fire believed to be suspicious A WOMAN had a lucky escape from fire that gutted a Melbourne vintage shop, with police treating the blaze as suspicious. Flames engulfed the Queens Parade shop in Clifton Hill about 2.15am (AEDT) on Monday after the woman living inside raised the alarm. Detective Senior Constable Grant James told reporters the large size of the blaze has led police to believe it is suspicious. But the investigation is in early stages and police are waiting on demolition crews to come and render the place safe so they can discover there is foul play. The cause is unknown.
