00:00Emergency services were called to the Gladstone property just before 6 this morning.
00:07When firefighters arrived, the two-storey home in Tallulah was already fully engulfed in flames.
00:13The fire was brought under control about 90 minutes later, but the house had partially collapsed, which hampered search efforts.
00:22Three people have died, with police unable to confirm their identities at this stage.
00:27Detective Acting Superintendent Luke Peachy says so far three bodies have been found.
00:34Those persons are still unknown, and obviously we'll be working throughout the day in the coming days to establish what has actually happened with this house fire.
00:43Obviously the fire scene is very horrific for all first responders and everyone involved, and it will take some time to go through before we can confirm the exact numbers.
00:53A crime scene has been declared, and investigations are continuing into the cause of the blaze.
