CHARGED: Karara man to front court after house fire
A KARARA man has been charged with arson after a fire destroyed a home in the small Southern Downs town today.
Warwick Senior Constable Matt Shield said the 38-year-old man was being held in police custody until his court appearance.
He is scheduled to appear at Warwick Magistrates Court on July 1.
The charge follows a devastating fire that gutted a home on Wickham Rd, just off Toowoomba-Karara Rd, today.
Emergency services were called to the scene about 11.40am and found the home fully engulfed by flames.
