Jason Killick Funerals has released the following official statement from the family involved in Saturday’s tragedy:

We have been asked by the family involved in yesterday’s tragic house fire in Kingaroy to make the following statement. We do so on their behalf.
Yesterday at approximately 1:00pm the family home of Sarah Bond and Bruce Fisher became engulfed in flames.
The cause of that fire is still under investigation.
Sarah was shopping in Kingaroy and was walking home when she saw the tragic event unfolding at the house.
I saw Sarah in hospital today, she is naturally in an extremely fragile state with family at her side.
Four-year-old Zach has been released from hospital and suffered only very minor injuries and smoke inhalation.
Sadly the family lost:
• Bruce Fisher (47)
• Connor Fisher (2)
• Bruce Fisher Jnr (11 months)
There has been a lot of speculation publicly surrounding this event.
The family understand the interest caused by yesterday’s fire and while they are understandably distraught at this time, they ask for sensitivity and privacy from the media as they grieve.

Footnote: South Burnett Online wishes to extend our deepest condolences to the extended Fisher and Bond families over this terrible tragedy.
[UPDATED]
My heart goes out to both these families. I would also like to recognise and acknowledge the two brave heroes for saving a life, and didn’t think about their own lives.
Thinking of Sarah and her Family at this time of Sorrow also the Fisher and Harrison Family my Deepest Sympathy and Condolences goes out to all Families.
