The truck driver was treated at the scene for gunshot wounds to his wrist and abdomen before he was taken to hospital in a stable condition.

A short time later, emergency services responded to reports of a black Lexus sedan on fire on Dixmude Street, South Granville, and a second vehicle alight on Boundary Road, Chester Hill.

Both blazes have since been extinguished.

Two cars were also discovered on fire in nearby suburbs. (9News)

Police are investigating whether the shooting and the car fires are linked.

Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to call Fairfield police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
