Subscriber only A WELL-KNOWN Innisfail family is picking up the pieces less than two weeks before Christmas after their family home burnt to the ground in a hellish inferno. More than seven fire trucks and multiple police units were called to the rural East Palmerston property of Gail and John Dunne on Wednesday morning after their son Matthew, who lives close by, spotted smoke billowing from the old timber Queenslander. The couple, in their 60s, had left only an hour before their home was engulfed in flames on Dunne Rd, which is named after the family.
