Two men have been rushed to hospital after a tobacco shop was torched near Brisbane overnight. 

The men, aged in their 50s, had been sleeping in the shop to protect it, police said.

A group of people forced their way into the store and spread a flammable substance throughout the premises before the building burst into flames.

Four Queensland Fire Department crews rushed to the scene on Forestglen Crescent at Browns Plains in Logan about 12.20am on Friday. 

The two men were rushed to hospital with life-threatening burns.
