A house has been destroyed by fire on Phillip Island in a busy few days for local CFA units.
The CFA and police were called to reports of a house fire on Milton St in Cape Woolamai about 2.45pm Wednesday afternoon.
When they arrived the house and nearby garage were consumed by flames.
Eleven CFA attended the scene and crews battled the fire, which had also spread to nearby grass and scrub.
