The cause of a shed fire that claimed the lives of a Biggenden baker and his daughter has still not been determined.

Todd Mooney, 54, and his daughter Kirra, 10, were found after the ferocious fire destroyed a building on their rural property at Biggenden, about an hour west of Maryborough on December 20.

Mr Mooney and his fiance, Bec Hansen, own the Biggenden Bakery.

On Monday, a spokeswoman for the Queensland Police Service said the cause of the blaze “remains under investigation”.

“A report will be prepared for the coroner,” she said.

Todd and Bec Mooney after they reopened the Biggenden Bakery to an overwhelming response from the community.

While police have not yet been able to confirm the cause of the blaze, they have been treating it as a tragic accident.

Confronting clues about how complex the investigation would be were revealed early on, when police said the destruction was so severe that it was unsafe to enter the shed and retrieve the bodies until equipment was in place to make the scene safe the day following the fire.

This also meant the investigation was not able to begin until days after the fire.

A major investigation is underway at a Biggenden property where two people have been found dead after a shed fire.

The fire broke out about noon on December 20, took several hours to extinguish and continued to smoulder the next day.

Mr Mooney and Ms Hansen were due to hold their wedding at their property in Fenwicks Road on Wednesday.

Inspector Gary Pettiford said forensic police and fire investigators had attended the scene.

He said Ms Hansen was in shock and distraught.

“It will be a long time before she comes to terms with the loss of not only her partner, but her daughter.”
