Queensland Fire Department, police respond to Warra vehicle blaze

Police, fire and ambulance crews were called to the scene of a vehicle fire on the Western Downs with investigations underway.

Emergency services were called to the scene of a car fire 40km southwest of Chinchilla which police believe was suspicious.

At around 11pm late Thursday police were called to an address on Taylor St, Warra after receiving reports an abandoned vehicle, believed to be a Mazda sedan, had been set alight.

One fire crew worked quickly to extinguish the blaze and left the scene in the hands of Queensland Police Service.

Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics were also on scene but there were no reports of injuries.

A witness said they had rushed to the scene after they heard a loud bang.

“We heard what sounded like gunshots, then we looked outside and saw the flames in the distance,” Kimberley Kanowski said.

“We drove to see if anyone needed help and to let the fire department know.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Investigations are continuing.
