Multiple firefighter crews have managed to extinguish a blaze that quickly enveloped a home in Avondale, near Bundaberg, on Tuesday afternoon.

At least four trucks were on the scene of the fire, which broke out about 2.30pm and quickly engulfed the roof of the low set brick home on Baumanns Road.

A woman holding a baby and visibly upset at the situation on the scene about 4pm was concerned about pet birds that were kept in a cage in the back yard close to the home.

Firefighters assured her the birds had not been killed.
