Multiple emergency crews were on the scene of a house fire in Murgon about 5pm on Monday.
Early reports indicated the “old Queenslander” home near the intersection of Steven and Watts Streets was fully engulfed about 5pm.
Old Queenslanders are usually high set and timber.
It was unknown if there was anybody home at the time the blaze broke out or what caused the fire, but a QFD spokesperson said there were no reports of anyone missing or being unaccounted for.
Four crews were initially on the scene where the house was described as “well involved” and more crews were on their way, the QFD said.
“They are working externally to put it out and protect exposures,” they said.
Police and ambulance crews were also on the scene.
More to come.
