Suspicious fire guts medical centre in Melbourne's west FIREFIGHTERS would have been killed battling a suspicious blaze in Melbournes west if the building collapsed on them, an MFB Commander says. The second storey of the Kealba Medical Centre will be demolished this afternoon after a fire ripped through the structure early this morning. Emergency crews evacuated a female neighbour after the precarious Driscolls Rd building began leaning towards her home. Western region Commander Frank Besanko said firefighters battling the inferno were lucky the top floor didn't collapse on them. "You look at it in the light of day and you think you're lucky a firefighter wasn't killed," Mr Besanko said. In this case a steel beam has collapsed a few bricks and it was lucky the wall held together. Brimbank City Council officers have inspected the scene and a contractor has been called in to demolish the top floor. Police are also investigating after the blaze, which caused an estimated $400,000 damage to the property, was deemed suspicious by authorities.
