"Queensland Police Service officers were already on scene as they were attending a reported domestic disturbance in the residence," Mr Appleby said.
He said he could not confirm how the fire was started, nor whether or not it had been sparked intentionally.
"On route, we saw large volumes of thick black smoke," he said.
"The house was fully-involved on arrival."
Though it only took less than 10 minutes for fireys to bring the blaze under control, the three-bedroom brick house was destroyed.

"But there has been extensive damage to the residence - it's basically completely gutted."
Nobody was inside the home at the time.
Energex personnel have disconnected the service cable to the home.
