Firefighters also battled a second fire in Bundoora just after 2pm.

A triple-storey townhouse — one of seven under construction — went up in flames at Zenith Rise, 16km north of Melbourne CBD.

Fire Service Communication Controller David Rankine said the construction provided a challenge for firefighters.

That fire is now under control and no one was injured.
