Police have made an emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act due to the fire.

An exclusion zone has been established that includes Heaslop St, Merton Rd, Catherine St, and Annerley Rd.

Those within the exclusion zone have been asked to evacuate the area immediately. 

Members of the public have been advised to avoid the exclusion zone.

It comes just days after a  ‘ferocious’ house fire engulfed three homes in nearby Hawthorne, which is about five kilometres from Woolloongabba.
