The QFD spokesman said the house had “partially collapsed” and that it seemed no one was home at the time or in danger.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman confirmed one paramedic crew attended.

It is understood police are investigating whether the officially unoccupied home was actually being used and was occupied by squatters who managed to escape the fire.

On Saturday a QPS spokesman said investigations into the cause of the fire were continuing and no charges had been laid.
