In the early hours of September 9, 2024, residents of Condamine Street in Caboolture were jolted awake by a caravan explosion in the driveway of a local home.
CCTV footage captured the terrifying moment when the caravan ignited, sending flames dangerously close to neighbouring properties. The blast was so powerful that residents in nearby Morayfield reported hearing the explosion.
Local fire crews responded swiftly to the scene, arriving at the Condamine Street address shortly after 2 am. However, the incident had begun to unfold even earlier. Police were already en route to the location following reports of a disturbance.
While the investigation is still in its preliminary stages, authorities suspect that gas bottles inside the caravan may have been the cause of the powerful blast.
The burnt-out shell of the caravan remains in the driveway. The property owner returned to the scene later in the morning to find his home cordoned off as a crime scene.
As of now, no charges have been laid in connection with the explosion.
