Paramedics and fire crews rushed to the scene of a commercial structure fire at Monkland on Saturday night.

According to a statement released by the Queensland Ambulance Service, the incident happened on Langton Rd and was called in at 7.18pm.

The QAS said no one at the scene needed medical help.

The incident follows another in the Wide Bay where fire and ambulance crews were called to a fire at a property at Buxton, near Childers on Wednesday night.

A spokesperson for the Queensland Ambulance Service said the incident happened after a garage caught fire.

“Paramedics remained on standby for the duration of a garage fire on Buxton Rd at 7.19pm,” they said.

“No patients were treated and no transports to hospital were required.”

A spokeswoman for the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service said there had been a fire and crews attended, but no further information was available.

That fire came a day after a blaze broke out in the nearby city of Maryborough on Monday.

An arson investigation into the fire, which significantly damaged a home and left a woman injured, is underway.
