A fire ripped through a unit in a complex on Brewer Street in Kallangur on Monday evening, leaving residents shaken and a fire investigator searching for answers.
The Queensland Fire Department received the call just after 8:00 p.m., reporting a serious fire in a unit block behind the Diamond Tavern. When firefighters arrived, they found the unit and garage engulfed in flames.
A spokesperson for the Queensland Fire Department said the fire was intense, and crews battled the blaze inside and outside the building.
Firefighters contained the fire to the initial unit in Kallangur, preventing it from spreading significantly to other residences in the complex. However, a second unit sustained minor damage.
Paramedics and police were on standby at the scene, but thankfully, everyone was accounted for, and no injuries were reported. The fire was fully extinguished by 8:55 p.m. A fire investigator was called to the scene to determine the cause of the blaze.
Residents have expressed concerns about the incident, stating that this particular unit block has been the site of multiple previous fires. Sources suggest that authorities treat the fire as suspicious, although details about how it started are not being released now. The investigation is ongoing.
