Firefighters who were called to a house fire at Woolooga on Thursday afternoon could see the smoke from a distance as they sped towards the blaze.
A QFES spokesperson said the brick, single-story structure in Staples Road was well-engulfed in flames when fire crews arrived about 1:20pm.
Seven crews – including rural and urban units – were called to the incident.
The fire was extinguished about 2:00pm, but fire crews remained at the scene dampening down hotspots.
QAS paramedics were on standby but a police spokesperson confirmed all occupants of the house had been accounted for.
Investigations into the cause of the fire are continuing.
