At 3.34am today, firefighters responded to a structure fire on Scott Street, Melton, after several callers to triple-zero (000) reported a shed fire.

CFA firefighters also responded to assist.

Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) crews arrived on the scene within five minutes to find smoke and flames issuing from the roof of the 15m x 20m shed. The response was escalated.

FRV crews donned breathing apparatus and began attacking the fire and preventing the fire from spreading to adjoining properties.

There was a high fuel load, which created an aggressive fire, as well as gas bottles exploding.

All occupants were evacuated safely and were assessed by paramedics.

The fire was deemed under control by 4.32am.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

It will be investigated by FRV specialists.
