An Albany Creek house fire on Sunday night left a single-storey home on Oakmont Crescent extensively damaged, with emergency services from multiple agencies responding to the scene.
The blaze broke out just before 8pm on 5 July and quickly drew a significant emergency response. By 8:20pm, three Queensland Fire Department crews were on the ground working to bring the fire under control, with a further three crews making their way to the property.
Queensland Police Service also attended in force, with more than five units at the scene. Officers closed off Oakmont Crescent to through traffic while crews worked, and police later determined the fire was non-suspicious, believed to have started accidentally.
The occupants of the home were evacuated safely, and all were accounted for. Queensland Ambulance Service confirmed one occupant was treated for minor smoke inhalation, though their condition was described as stable. Paramedics remained on standby at the scene to support fire crews as they worked.
The community rallied on social media as images of the blaze circulated locally, with residents expressing relief that those inside had made it out safely.
