UPDATED November 25: Sgt Gary Brown, from Wondai Police, said the fire began in the shed and spread to the nearby home.
No one was at home at the time the fire broke out.
A witness, who was passing by along the road, saw flames coming from the shed. She called 000 but could not get close to the building because of explosions coming from inside.
The fire spread across the lawn to the nearby home.
Sgt Brown said investigators could not determine what started the fire in the shed but there were no suspicious circumstances.
