Fierce blaze destroys three riverside homes in Noosa

A large blaze has destroyed three houses and caused significant damage to two others in Noosa, on the Sunshine Coast.

Firefighters were called to initial reports of fire at two residences on Noosa River Drive about 12.30pm, a Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) spokesman told 9news.com.au.

Crews arrived to find the properties fully involved in flames, the spokesman said.

Three houses have since been completely destroyed by the fire, while two other residences have sustained significant damage.

There are no reports of injuries.

It is believed the fire started in one home, but strong winds caused the flames to be fanned on to other properties.

Investigators remain at the scene.
