A BRISBANE City councillor says he has no idea why a man used a flaming truck tyre to try to burn down his office.

The man has been charged with breaking into the Cannon Hill office of Councillor Ryan Murphy and setting it alight about 2.30am (AEST) on Tuesday.

A truck tyre was used in the attack but police could not confirm reports it was set alight and rolled into the office.

The man was interrupted by a police officer patrolling the Cannon Hill shopping centre with a dog, which bit the alleged arsonist on the calf and buttocks.

He's been charged with arson, wilful damage, entering a premises with intent, stealing and obstructing police.

The fire only caused minor damage before it was put out, but Mr Murphy and his staff are working from a temporary office.

The councillor doesn't know why his office was attacked but thinks it could have been a lot worse.

"This person, for whatever reason, has set out to do some serious damage," he told ABC radio.

"I mean you don't use a truck tyre to start a fire unless you want to do some serious damage."
