Queensland Fire Department’s Daniel Rasmussen told 9News that fire crews battled the flames through windy conditions.
“Fire crews arrived to find the house fully involved in fire,” he said.
“It’s a pretty intense fire, it’s a two-storey house.
“It made it very difficult to even get down the back, crews had to make holes through neighbours’ fences to get to it.”

The occupants of the home ran to neighbour Ben Fritz for help.
“We went outside, and saw next door was on fire, it was crazy,” he told 9News.
“They got their kid out, everyone was safe within that house and they came to our house to get assistance.”
Investigations are under way to determine the origin of the fire and whether it was deliberately lit.
No charges have been laid.
