An investigation was sparked earlier this week after an unknown person lit a fire at Braddon Liberal MHA Jeremy Rockliff's office on the night of the Tasmanian election.
Tasmania Police Inspector Shane LeFevre said police were called to the the electorate office on Best Street at 12.20am on Sunday after the intruder alarm was activated.
Inspector Kim Steven said they would be keen to talk to anyone who might have recent burns or singes.
"As can be seen from the CCTV vision released by police today, it is highly possible that the person who lit the fire at the electorate office suffered some burns or singeing to their skin, hair or clothing," they said.
"I would ask that if anyone is aware of a person with recent injuries consistent with this to contact us - it may be the person has provided a story of an exploding BBQ or similar but we would still be keen to talk to them to eliminate them from our enquiries."
