VideoThe fire happened after a car ploughed into a minibus out the front. Police say it's believed the car and minibus were set alight, but don't believe it's gang-related.

A Spearwood man is facing multiple charges after allegedly ploughing his car into a mini-bus and causing a fire that damaged a Rebels bikie clubhouse in Bibra Lake on Tuesday.

Police say the 40-year-old drove his bronze coloured Toyota Camry sedan in an erratic manner along Hobley Way before veering off the road and crashing into the front of a house, destroying a large pot plant and causing significant damage to the vehicle.

The man then allegedly drove to a property on Port Kembla Drive where he drove at speed into a parked Toyota Coaster bus.

He then set the Toyota Camry on fire, police say.

The fire spread to the Coaster bus and the clubhouse causing smoke and burn damage.

Police don’t believe the incident was gang related.

The man has been charged with three counts of criminal damage by fire, unlawful damage and reckless driving.

He is due to appear in Fremantle Magistrates Court today.
