Vic: Firefighters mopping up at house fire

A smoke alarm has saved the residents of a burning house in Melbourne's east.

The Metropolitan Fire Brigade says the residents were awoken by the alarm and fled
the early morning fire that badly damaged their home in Chesney Drive, Ringwood.

It says 16 firefighters took 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control.

No-one was hurt.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.
