Four people have suffered life-threatening injuries after a house was gutted by fire in northern Brisbane this morning.
Fire crews were called to Darcy Way at Lawnton just after 5.30am local time where they found the home engulfed in flames.
The fire was so ferocious the house had already collapsed, hindering initial firefighting efforts.
There were four people inside the house who were eventually freed from the burning structure, they are all fighting for their lives suffering serious burns and other injuries.
They were treated by 18 paramedics on the scene.
Firefighters were eventually able to gain control of the blaze, and they were forced to evacuate neighbouring houses as a precaution due to the severity of the inferno.
People were seen outside on the street in their pyjamas after being evacuated.
Authorities have closed off the road in both directions as they continue to contain the blaze and to begin their investigations.
