At 1.50pm, Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) responded to an incident on Clarice Close, St Albans, after several callers to Triple Zero (000) reported a house fire.
Crews arrived on scene within 6 minutes to find smoke and flames issuing from a garage at the rear of a property, so the response was escalated.
FRV crews donned breathing apparatus and began attacking the fire as well as preventing any further fire spread to the house.
All occupants have safely evacuated and will be assessed by Ambulance Victoria.
The fire was deemed under control by 2.15pm.
The cause of the fire is not yet known but will be investigated by FRV specialists.
