It was just after 7:45am when the first calls hit the system. CFA crews and police were scrambled to 77 Industrial Circuit, Cranbourne West, off Gwen Road. The dispatches rolled in thick and fast, STRUC1 WAREHOUSE FIRE, multiple units responding, the full alert. What the radio chatter described as a warehouse blaze was, in reality, a deliberate firebombing of Sniper Fit boxing gym.
This was no random spark. No careless tradie with a dodgy angle grinder. This was a message, sent in flames and petrol, aimed squarely at the Salesui family and whoever stands with them.
