Energex crews were on scene around 6.30am inspecting the powerlines for damage.

Ali Haru said his aunt lived in the complex and woke up to smell the fire.

“She just saw fire and just got in her car and started honking so everyone would wake up,” he said.

A Queensland fire spokesperson said they were able to get the fire under control and left the scene around 6.20am.

Investigations into how the fire was started are ongoing.
