Neighbour Shari Hall captured the home well alight at around 5am.

“Took a while to actually put the whole fire out and after that I went back inside,” Ms Hall said.

Smoke could be seen billowing from the charred property as crews worked to extinguish flames.

Queensland Fire and Emergency spokeswoman said crews remained on scene at noon and had inspected both levels of the property.

People posting on social media referred to the home as the “pink house”.

Lars Nicole posted said: “No more pink house.”

“Even though it was painted white recently.

“Hope all the surrounding houses and neighbours are safe.”
