Three people were able to escape from the burning home, but a fourth person was later found dead inside a bunglaow at the rear of the property.

The tragedy came only hours after crews were called to another fire in the nearby suburb of Frankston.

A unit on Franklin Court was engulfed in flames when emergency services arrived at about 4pm.

While trying to evacuate the property, firefighters found a person’s body inside.

The exact circumstances surrounding both incidents are yet to be determined, with police to attend both scenes on Friday to investigate further.

Any witnesses or anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 00.
