A heritage-listed pub in Townsville is destroyed by fire, according to multiple reports. Local outlets describe the incident as a major blaze that gutted the building.

All sources agree on the key details: the property is a pub, it is heritage-listed, and the fire completely damages the structure. However, with only limited information provided in the excerpts, the reports do not specify the start time, cause of the fire, whether anyone was injured, or the extent of damage beyond saying the pub was gutted.

No outlet cited conflicting information in the supplied material. Further reporting from emergency services or local authorities would be needed to determine the cause, response details, and any investigation or charges that may follow.
