Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said crews arrived just after midnight to find the home fully engulfed in flames.

All persons were accounted for upon their arrival.

The QFD spokeswoman said fireys managed to contain the blaze at around 12.30am and remained on scene dampening down until just before 6am.

Queensland Ambulance paramedics were also called to the scene where one male patient was assessed and declined transport to hospital.
