A Munruben family faces a long road to recovery, after their flood-impacted home was destroyed by a fire earlier this week.
The house was well engulfed by fire, with the inferno burning through to the ceiling.

Firefighters had the blaze under control just before 11pm, but could not save the house.
Kevin, Patricia, their three children and four foster children were not in the home at the time of the fire, after the recent flood forced them to an evacuation centre, before finding temporary accommodation at Beaudesert.
Patricia Thompson struggled to talk about the devastation.
Kevin Thompson says while the family lost irreplaceable possessions, they will re-build.
“I do scrap booking for all my kids and foster kids, so I kept everything from school, their sport, everything like that, all gone.
“We’ll probably never be able to get that back.
“We have a strong family, we’ll get through this, always do.”
While investigations continue to determine the cause of the fire, Police are treating the fire as suspicious.
