FRV crews battle Fitzroy North townhouse fire

FRV firefighters were called to Brookes Crescent in Fitzroy North last night following a town house fire.

Crews arrived on scene to find the two-storey property in flames with concerns one resident was unaccounted for.

Firefighters used an aerial appliance to attack the fire and stop it from spreading to neighbouring homes.

The blaze had spread from the ground floor into the second storey rooms and roof space.

Crews managed to get the incident under control just after 12.30am.

The home was significantly damaged in the incident but luckily, no one was inside.

FRV crews will remain on scene throughout the morning to ensure hot spots are fully extinguished.

FRV fire investigators will attend to investigate the cause of the blaze.

Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria also attended.
