Fire Recue Victoria (FRV) responded to multiple Triple Zero (000) calls for a structure fire in Keilor East shortly after 5pm this evening.

Firefighters arrived within five minutes to find flames issuing from a single-storey brick house and garage and immediately called for further resources.

Firefighters quickly attacked the fire using multiple hoselines, as well as protecting homes on multiple sides that were threatened by the fire.

All occupants were able to evacuate the home without injury.

The fire was declared under control at 06:31pm, 35 minutes after FRV arrived on scene.

The house and garage have sustained significant damage in the fire.

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined but will be investigated.

FRV crews will be on scene for several hours fully extinguishing the fire.
