Queensland Ambulance Service said a woman suffered minor burns to her lower limbs and was taken to the Wesley Hospital in a stable condition.

According to The Courier Mail, the woman is Tallis' partner Jemma Elder.

A neighbour told The Courier Mail they heard a loud bang followed by screams.

The incident was reportedly attended by four police cars, an ambulance and a fire engine.

Tallis and Elder, who has served as a board member for the Gold Coast Titans, have one son together.

William 'Billy' Tallis was born in 2019, with the couple taking to social media to share the news.

"We have a new little man in our lives," Elder wrote.

"Impatient like his Mum - strong as his Dad, and home last week. Welcome to the world William.

"You are surrounded by so much love. Let the adventure begin."

Tallis has two other sons with his ex-wife.
