The size of a blaze that engulfed a home in Logan overnight had one neighbour in such shock she called 911 before calling triple-0.

Kingston resident Jodi Overend was so overwhelmed with the enormity of the fire as it destroyed a home on Myra St about 2.30am that she automatically called American emergency services by mistake.

Witness Jodi Overend who called emergency services this morning after the Kingston fire.

“So 2.30 this morning, I heard a few dogs barking and I looked out the window – I was patting the cat – as I looked to my right I just kinds seen flashes of orange,” Ms Overend said.

“So I went over to the dining room window and I could see directly the flames they were taller than the palm trees.

“It was crazy so I instantly grabbed my phone and made a run for it (towards the home on fire).

“Because as far as I knew people lived there.”

Ms Overend recalled having to confirm the location several times with emergency services to ensure they went to the right address as the home involved was in a confusing section of Kingston.

“Because it (the fire) was at the back we weren’t sure what property it was.

“When the firies got there a neighbour helped us unlock the gate and that’s when they informed us no one lived there.”

Other nearby neighbours recalled a mother and her child once lived in the house but they moved last November and now the property was now vacant.

“That was a relief knowing no one was in there,” Ms Overend said.

“We had about five fire trucks, we had the cherry picker, we had tow trucks …

“There was about 10 different police cars with undercover (police) they were obviously doing the rounds of the streets to try and locate exactly what property and if people had seen anything.”

Paramedics attended the scene but the house was unoccupied at the time of the fire and no one was injured in the blaze.

“It was crazy — we even had an ambulance here just in case.

“So that was 2.30am and someone (emergency services) has been there the whole time.”

The fire was extinguished and firefighters left the scene about 5am.

Ms Overend said she was only awake when the fire broke out that morning out of pure luck as she is on medication and has been having trouble sleeping.

“The (fire) smell is atrocious.

“Every now and again you get that whiff of everything burning.

“Not sure if it was the house, granny flat or shed — the haven’t pinpointed that yet.”

She recalled running on adrenaline and fear straight when she noticed the fire, as its flames were “taller than the tallest palm tree”.

The view of the fire engulfed property from Jodi Overend’s window, showing the tall palm trees.

“(The flames) were massive and we have seen cars be dropped off and burnt before – it was enormous.

“This is bad, this is bigger than just a bush fire or someone burning something.”

Ms Overend recalled the flames to be a “golden orangey red” flame.

“It was very vibrant and a lot of smoke.

“It was dark but you could see the cloud of smoke.”

She recalled it took emergency services about an hour to put out the flames, before they started doing any formal investigations.

“There was nothing in the street to indicate someone had run off — no idea how it started — there was a few weird sounds in the street but being close to a park sometimes we get the drifters (strangers) wondering through.

“That’s why when the dogs started barking, I expected someone to be strolling through the street.

“You couldn’t see what was on fire but it was just a huge fire.

“So it was act now and think later.”

A crime scene has been established as investigators work to determine the cause of the fire.
