Emergency services are investigating a house fire near Euroa after human remains were found.

Police attended a Kippings Rd property in Strathbogie to conduct a welfare check and found the property destroyed.

A Victoria Police spokesperson said a crime scene had since been established at the property.

“It’s believed human remains have been located in the property and investigators will await the results of a post-mortem to determine the cause of death,” they said.

“At this stage, the fire isn’t being treated as suspicious.”

A CFA spokesperson said fire investigators are assisting police with their investigation.

No CFA brigades were called to the scene.
