The fire comes just over 12 hours after another fire was reported at Gracemere, just south of the city at 9pm Sunday night.

A neighbour reported hearing explosions before crews arrived at the Elizabeth St address, but it was later discovered to be a backyard fire inside a drum.

The fire was deemed to be suitably contained.
