EARLIER @ December 12 | A Gold Coast family has lost everything just two weeks before Christmas after their home went up in flames.
The blaze erupted at the property along Robert Street in Mudgeeraba around 2.30am on Tuesday.
Multiple fire crews were called to battle the flames, which proved difficult to put out due to the speed at which the fire spread.
Station manager Adam Andrew-Artha told Seven thankfully everyone managed to get out safely.
“Initial reports en route were that there were people still trapped inside, but it was established as soon as we arrived that everyone was evacuated,” he said.
Sadly, a pet remains missing.
It’s not yet known exactly what sparked the blaze, with fire investigators expected to head to the scene today to try and piece together the cause.
