Wild scenes erupt as house goes up in flames following driveway fight in Morayfield, north of Brisbane
A house has gone up in flames following an alleged fight in a driveway in suburban Moreton Bay.
Emergency services were called to Graham Road in Morayfield shortly after 1am on Friday following reports of smoke and a large explosion coming from a house.
Police allege there was a “multiple person disturbance” occurring at the home throughout the night.
It is not yet known what caused the fire or whether police are treating it as suspicious, a Queensland Police spokesperson told NewsWire.
Eyewitnesses claimed that they saw many people running away from the house before the explosion occurred in the building.
A neighbor told the Courier Mail they woke up to a large fire and clouds of smoke.
“The flames were big… We heard an explosion inside, so no one came close,” he said.
Images shared online showed huge flames spreading across the house before jumping into nearby trees and fences.
While the house was partially damaged due to the flames, the items in the front garden were also completely burned.
White goods, furniture and other items in the front garden of the house turned into a pile of rubble.
While the rear of a white SUV became completely unusable due to the flames, ashes were scattered on the grass.
While trees were also damaged in the fire, some trees were reduced to ashes.
It was learned that there were no injuries as a result of the fire.
The police examined the scene and launched an investigation into the incident.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
