A home in Cranbourne North has been destroyed by fire on Wednesday evening, 21 March, with the cause of the blaze still unknown.
Fire crews were called to the single-storey brick-veneer house at Mountainview Boulevard around 5.10pm. It took firefighters half an hour to bring the fire under control which extensively damaged the house.
CFA Operations Officer Paul Summons said luckily a couple were able to evacuate the house without any injuries.
He said an investigation would be conducted into the cause.
Twenty-five firefighters from Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Frankston, and Hallam battled the blaze to ensure it did not spread to neighbouring properties.
Six vehicles and a breathing apparatus response vehicle were also at the scene.
Mr Summons said CFA sent an advice message was sent to Cranbourne residents at the time about smoke in the area and to stay informed.
