Firefighters are continuing to battle an out-of-control blaze at a commercial building in Brisbane, with nearby residents warned to batten down the hatches with thick smoke in the air.
Fire crews were called to the Culture Kings clothing warehouse on Beenleigh Road in Acacia Ridge at 3.10pm, and more than two-and-a-half hours later 12 crews remained on scene.

The fire wasn't under control by 5.45pm but fire crews hadn't received any information to suggest anyone was in the building at the time the fire broke out.
A QFES spokeswoman said there was "a fair bit of smoke" in the area and advised residents to close windows, doors and drive to the conditions on the roads.
