Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) crews responded to a house on fire at Gertonia Avenue, Boronia this afternoon following multiple calls to Triple Zero (000).

The front half of the home has been extensively damaged in the fire.
The cause of the fire is not yet determined but it will be investigated by FRV fire investigators.
A Community Advice message was issued for smoke in the area.
Firefighters will remain on scene for some time, to ensure the fire is fully extinguished.
