Suspicious fire, Tingalpa
Detectives are investigating a suspicious fire at a Tingalpa property last night.
Around 7.29pm, officers were called the Wynnum Road address to reports of two large sheds on fire.
On arrival, the separate structures approximately 15 metres apart were engulfed in flames causing significant damage.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Service officers extinguished the fires with several roads around the property closed due to smoke causing poor visibility.
The male occupant of a nearby house was taken to Redlands Hospital suffering smoke inhalation.
A crime scene was established with scenes of crime, forensic officers and investigators attending.
As is normal protocol, the fire is being treated as suspicious until it is deemed otherwise.
Detectives are asking for anyone who may have witnessed anyone around Wynnum and Manly Road or who may have any dashcam vision around the time of the incident to contact them.
Investigations will continue this morning to determine the cause of the fire.
