Paramedics arrived at the home after the blaze broke on Home Hill Rd, Ayr, about 5.41am on Tuesday.
A 65-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman were both taken to Ayr Hospital in a critical condition.
One person has since been airlifted to Townsville and both remain critical.
Emergency services were first called to the address at 2:15am in response to a mental health matter, Acting Chief Superintendent Chris Lawson said on Tuesday.
Police and ambulance officers spoke to all parities involved and left a short time later.
A man in his 20s who came to assist was also injured and taken to the hospital where he's in a stable condition.
Firefighters are investigating the cause of the blaze.
