Brisbane businesses gutted by intense blaze
Ten businesses in Brisbane’s south have been gutted by an intense fire that caused their roofs to collapse.
Inspector Doug May from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services told Today crews were first called to the row of shops on Old Cleveland Road at Coorparoo about 2.15am.
“Crews fought to contain it, and contain it from the exposures that were around it, and brought it under control," he said.
“We’ve got some structural collapse in the roof and all the ceilings are down and they’re quite hard to access. There are still some hot spots in there and we’ll be here for quite a while.”
Insp. May also said that early-rising shopkeepers had this morning come to the stores for a day’s work, only to see them destroyed.
