Two fires damage southeast Qld homes

Two fires have badly damaged houses in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast.

Four fire crews were called to a home at Buderim early on Saturday.

A man aged in his 80s reportedly escaped the blaze.

It followed a fire at a vacant property in Cornubia, south of Brisbane.

The home was well alight when crews arrived late on Friday, the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service said.

Fire investigators will spend Saturday combing through the charred property to determine the cause.

Police are treating the fire as suspicious.
