A woman and three children have been found dead after a fire in a home in Melbourne’s south-east overnight.
Emergency services were called to the house in Glen Waverley about 1.40am on Sunday.
Fire Rescue Victoria crews arrived to find the garage well alight and thick smoke filling the two-storey house.
Thirty-five firefighters were needed at one point to bring the fire under control.
A woman and three children who are yet to be formally identified were found dead inside the house. A 50-year-old man managed to escape and was taken to hospital with smoke inhalation.
Victoria police’s arson squad is investigating.
“The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined and the investigation is ongoing,” a police spokesman said.
