A 12-hour siege on Queensland's Southern Downs has ended, with police finding the body of a 38-year-old man in a house in Warwick.

The incident began last night after officers received reports of a man armed with a firearm at a property on Wantley Street.

Police said no shots were fired and no threats were made.

The man's death is not being treated as suspicious. 

They had negotiated with a man holed up inside a home after locking down homes surrounded by Wood Street, Gore Street, Grafton Street and Dragon Street.

The emergency declaration was lifted this morning.
