A Sunshine Coast home has been partially destroyed by fire overnight.

Firefighters were called to reports of a room on fire in a house on Rosslare St in Caloundra West about 8pm on August 14.

A Queensland Fire and Emergency Service spokeswoman said firefighters extinguished the blaze in about 10 minutes and did a search of the home.

“Everyone was accounted for, crews were on scene for about an hour,” she said.

The spokeswoman said the home was smoke-damaged but the fire had been contained to a room at the front of the house and had not entered the roof.

No one was injured.

This latest incident follows a fire at the weekend that destroyed a home in Aroona.

Sunshine Coast police have launched an arson investigation following the fire in Tarver St on August 12.
