Crews called to early morning job after reports of smoke in house

It was a busy start to the week for emergency service crews in Toowoomba after they were called to a house filled with smoke hours before a unit fire. Details here.

Paramedics from the Queensland Ambulance Service and fireys from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services were called to a private residence in the early morning after reports of smoke.

Crews arrived at the George St house in Clifton on Monday at 2.13am.

A spokeswoman from QFES said the house was reportedly filled with smoke but by the time crews arrived, the smoke had mostly dissipated.

The spokeswoman said crews were unable to find a cause for the incident but suspected it may have been as a result of an occupant smoking inside the house.

No patients required assessment but paramedics remained on standby.

The incident occurred just hours before fireys worked to extinguish a fire inside a unit in Harristown, which sadly resulted in the death of pets.
