It is not known if anyone was on site when the fires started.
The fireman in charge, Area Commander Geoff Purcell, said there had been four fires, all on different levels of the building which has more than 30 levels. The fires were put out by automatic sprinklers.
A fire in the building this morning was at the time thought to be accidental. All are now considered suspicious.
