Wyndham fire fighters were kept busy on Sunday battling house fires in both Hoppers Crossing and Truganina.

A single-storey unit in Sheahan Crescent, Hoppers Crossing, was well alight when Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) with assistance from CFA personnel arrived shortly after midnight.

Firefighters donned breathing apparatus and with hoselines attacked the fire in the brick home in a block of two units.

Crews were able to stop the fire from spreading to the second unit.

All occupants had evacuated to the front of the premises and no injuries were reported.

The residence sustained significant damage in the fire. Investigators will now work to determine the cause of the blaze.

Fire Rescue Victoria crews responded to another house on fire in Botanical Drive, Truganina, on Sunday evening.

Crews arrived to find thick smoke and flames coming from the front of a single-storey brick house.

The fire, which was contained to the front room and roof space, was declared under control at 11.21pm.

All occupants had safely evacuated the house.

The cause of the fire is not yet known but it will be investigated by FRV specialist investigators.
