At 9.06am, Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) responded to an incident on Kenley Court, Meadow Heights after callers to Triple Zero (000) reported a house fire.
Firefighters arrived on scene within seven minutes to find a single-storey brick townhouse well involved in fire.
Additional firefighting trucks were deployed early due to the number of Triple Zero (000) calls received.
Due to this, the fire was quickly brought under control and extinguished within 30 minutes.
Two neighbours suffered smoke inhalation and were treated by paramedics at the scene.
One patient was transported to hospital.
The townhouse suffered considerable damage but FRV firefighters stopped the fire spreading to nearby units - two of which suffered minor smoke damage.
Crews will remain on scene throughout the morning to extinguish hotspots.
The cause is being investigated.
