Long-time Eumundi locals lose their home in house fire

The Noosa community is sending love and support to long-time Eumundi locals, who lost their home to flames after a fire broke out on Sunday 16 October.

Paramedics and multiple fire and rescue crews were on scene of the house fire on Cook Street in the tight-knit community of Eumundi at 5.48am on Sunday.

A Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) spokesman said they transferred two women to hospital.

“One was a lady in her 50s and she had partial burns to her hands and arms, as well as smoke inhalation. She was in a stable condition,” a QAS spokesman said.

“There was another lady in her 40s with smoke inhalation, as well as partial burns to her face. But both are otherwise stable and they were the only two people transported from the house fire.”

A Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) spokeswoman said it was a single storey timber structure that was well involved when crews arrived on the scene.

“The fire was out and they were dampening down by 7.30am,” a QFES spokeswoman said.

“I spoke to the fire investigator yesterday afternoon. It was deemed non-suspicious, but the cause is undetermined due to the extent of the damage to the property.”

The much-loved family left a sign in front of the home, writing in chalk, ‘Everyone is safe. Thank you for caring’.
