House fire, Stretton

Police are conducting investigations to establish the cause of a house fire at Stretton last night.

Just before midnight nearby residents reported flames and a lot of smoke coming from a house on White Cedar Circuit. The home was well alight when police and emergency services arrived.

Some neighbours were asked to leave their homes for a short time until the area was safe. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services brought the blaze under control but the two story dwelling sustained substantial damage. No other properties were damaged.

Initial investigations suggest that no one was home at the time of the fire and no one was injured. The scene will be guarded until further examinations can be conducted this morning.

Police investigations into the cause of the fire are continuing.
