Residents of a townhome have escaped injury after quick response by local firefighters on Friday 28 June.
Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) crews responded to the house fire in Boronia after multiple calls to Triple Zero (000) at nearly 10pm.
Crews arrived on scene within four minutes to find two cars in the garage and the top floor of a double storey townhouse issuing flames and smoke.
Wearing beathing apparatus (BA), firefighters worked to extinguish the fire and brought the incident under control within 35 minutes. The fire impacted two adjacent townhouses within a complex of 6.
Occupants of both dwellings were alerted to the fire by smoke alarms and were able to evacuate safely and no injuries were reported.
At this stage the cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.
Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria were on scene to support firefighting activities and firefighters remained at the house for some time, to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
