Overview
- Firefighters were called just after 6pm Wednesday to the Telegraph Road home and brought the rear-left blaze under control within about 20–30 minutes.
- All occupants were accounted for with no injuries reported, and crews remained to cool gas cylinders at the property.
- Queensland Police have ruled the fire non-suspicious, with the mosque characterizing it as an unfortunate accident.
- The house was severely damaged and left uninhabitable, so the Salik family has moved to temporary accommodation as insurance covers repairs but not contents.
- A GoFundMe exceeded its $50,000 target by raising more than $60,000 in a day before organizers closed new donations, following a December vandalism attack on the mosque.
