In Gunnedah, a team was deployed to a blaze on Finch Street at about 12:15am on Sunday, and were on the scene for just over 35 minutes until the flames were extinguished.
Damage was restricted to one car, and the incident is now being investigated by police to determine if it was stolen.
The fire in Armidale was more troublesome however, with crews having to attend the same address on both Friday and Saturday nights.

Popular local restaurant Neville's Store was damaged by fire on Friday night. The Fire and Rescue NSW crew from Armidale were alerted to the blaze shortly before 11:20pm. By the time firefighters extinguished the blaze, the site was declared safe about 1:15am.
However, the following night it was reported the fire had reignited within the shop, and crews rushed to the scene to deal with the situation. The second callout was less hazardous, and crews were only on scene for about 15 minutes, a spokesperson said.
The changeover from daylight savings has also prompted fire crews to remind the public to change their smoke alarm batters.
Firefighters are urging locals to ensure they have working fire alarms in place for both residential and business properties.
