FIVE people, including three small children, are recovering in
Yeppoon Hospital from smoke inhalation after a house fire at 10am
today on Tanby Road, Yeppoon.
Although minimal structural damage was caused to the house, Yeppoon
fire and rescue station officer Wayne Parry said there was severe
smoke damage and the family members, including and infant and two
children aged three and five, showed signs of smoke
inhalation.
Mr Parry said it was believed the fire was caused by the

the five-year-old, who alerted him to the fire, and the male was
able to put it out.
