Crime scene declared as police probe cause of Brisbane house fire

A crime scene has been declared at a Brisbane home destroyed by fire just days before Christmas.

Fire crews were called to Arras Street in Yeronga at 6.45am to find a two-storey Queenslander-style home fully alight.

One person at home at the time had self-evacuated before first responders arrived.

Nine crews, including senior officers, worked for over an hour to extinguish the blaze, according to the Queensland Fire Department.

Paramedics also attended but no patients required treatment.

Police say investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
