At 9.58pm, Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) crews responded to an incident on Worthing Avenue, Burwood East after callers to Triple Zero (000) reported a garage fire.
Firefighters arrived on scene within four minutes to find that the garage was well alight and spreading to the adjoining house, so the response was escalated.
FRV crews donned breathing apparatus and attacked the fire as it began to spread through the 10 x 20 metre single storey brick home.
Two occupants of the home were able to evacuate without injury.
The fire was deemed Under Control at 10:34pm.
The house has been destroyed in the fire.
The cause of the fire is not yet known but it will be investigated by FRV specialists.
Firefighters will remain on scene overnight to ensure the fire is fully extinguished.
