UPDATE

Flames up to 40m high have been reported from a fire which burned at a Gympie region business overnight.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Service crews provided an update on the incident on Tuesday morning (June 22) after it was reported paramedics were called to the scene on Langton Rd at about 7.15pm Monday night.

Five fire crews were also dispatched to the scene, with the fire believed to have started inside a commercial dryer before spreading to open ducting on the same property.

Workers on the scene tried to put the fire out before fire crews arrived, but the blaze reportedly took hours to be determined as under control.

A QFES spokesperson said the fire was contained shortly after 9pm and extinguished at about 9.30pm, while paramedics were not required to assist anyone with injuries.
