A Queensland Fire Department Spokesman said the one storey house had “burnt to the ground” though all people had been accounted for.

Fire crew arrived on scene by 1.15pm with the house completely collapsing shortly after.

The fire was extinguished by 3.30pm with two crew remaining on scene dampening down the smouldering ruins.

Ergon Energy is on site and has cut power to the area.
