Three fires have destroyed homes in South-East Queensland overnight including one that left a woman with severe burns in Brisbane's inner south early this morning.
Emergency crews were called to Kitchener Street in Coorparoo shortly after 3:00am, where they found a house well alight.
The Queensland Ambulance Service said a 30-year-old woman was taken to the Royal Brisbane Hospital with severe burns to her legs.
A five-year-old girl was taken to the Brisbane Children's Hospital with burns to her face and a three-year-old suffering smoke inhalation was also hospitalised.
A 32-year-old man was also treated for minor burns and taken to hospital.
Neighbouring residents were evacuated.
Neighbour Lea-Ellen Vance said she woke to the sound of people screaming including the young children who live at the home.
"I thought someone was having [an argument] so I just rolled over and went back to bed and then I thought, 'shivers I've got to get up'," she said.
Ms Vance said she went outside and saw a "huge" blaze across the street.
"I've never seen so many different coloured flames — orange, yellow, red," she said.
"Very, very big — it was a lot."
Ms Vance said four people lived in the house including two young girls under the age of 5.
The house was destroyed and a crime scene has been set up while police investigate the cause of the fire.
Anyone with further information is urged to contact police.
In a separate incident on the Gold Coast, a fire extensively damaged two duplexes at Miami overnight.
All residents were able to self-evacuate when a large fire began at about 9:00pm in one duplex and spread to an adjoining home.
In another incident, a fire destroyed a home at Twin View Road in Elimba, north of Caboolture.
Police said no-one was home at the time.
