A Gold Coast home has been completely destroyed after an inferno ripped through it on Wednesday morning, as police reveal what sparked the blaze.

Emergency services were called to the Brock Rd, Currumbin Valley property at 10.48am.

A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said the fire started in a car that was parked under the house, but by the time fire crews arrived on scene at about 11.20am the home was “well involved” in the blaze.

Two fire crews were fighting the blaze at 11.35am and another four crews were on their way.

The house collapsed entirely before 12pm and at 12.40pm fire crews were still working to dampen the hotspots, a QFD spokeswoman said.

All the occupants including pets were evacuated from the house, a Queensland Police Service spokesman said.

He said the fire started because a car was parked too close to a mattress under the house.

Paramedics attended the scene but nobody needed treatment, a Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said.
