A house fire in Moranbah near a school has been ruled non-suspicious by Queensland police.

Two Queensland Fire and Rescue crews fought the blaze on Mills Road near Moranbah High School.

A QFES spokeswoman said the call came through at 6.05pm that the house was on fire but all people and animals were safely outside.

She said when crews arrived there was thick black smoke filling the house.

Firefighters in breathing apparatus pulled down ceilings to fight the fire in the roof.

Queensland Ambulance Service said a male in his 40s experienced smoke inhalation symptoms.

He was taken in a stable condition to Moranbah Hospital.

Police were on scene conducting traffic control and fireys worked to extinguish the blaze.

The roof fire was out by about 7pm and completely out by about 7.45pm.

Police said they confirmed about an hour later that the fire was non-suspicious and confirmed no crime scene.

More to come.
