On 24 August 2011, a fire began on the ground floor of a two storey house in Slacks Creek, south of Brisbane. Fourteen of the home's 15 occupants were in the house at the time of the blaze. Three occupants escaped, two occupants were injured and 11 occupants died.
Approximately 30 firefighters responded to the incident. The second storey of the home collapsed during the fire. There were also two vehicles destroyed in the blaze.
A 2014 coroner's report failed to find sufficient evidence for the cause of the fire.
