The incidents, which are all unrelated, occurred in suburbs across the city.

A single Queensland Fire Department (QFD) crew attended to scene of a single car fire in Oxenford just before 6pm Saturday.

A QFD spokeswoman said the car was ‘well involved’ in flames but was extinguished within 10 minutes.

Meanwhile crews also attended another single car fire in Billinga just after 2.30am Sunday morning.

This car was also reportedly ‘well-involved’ and was extinguished just before 3am.

The QFD also attended a third vehicle fire in Southport.

The two-vehicle fire was reported on Nerang Street and Rawlins Street around 1am on Sunday morning.

The food truck and car fire were extinguished shortly after.

A QFD spokeswoman said all three matters were now being handled by Queensland Police Service.

Meanwhile, three people were taken to hospital after a two vehicle crash in Billinga on Coolangatta Road.

Two children, one with eye pain, the other with leg pain, were taken to Gold Coast University Hospital along with a woman in her 50s with back pain and another adult woman with back pain.

Paramedics took a male patient with head and arm injuries to Gold Coast University Hospital following a single-vehicle rollover on Gold Coast Springbrook Road at 8.03pm.
