Police are investigating the cause of the blaze.

A new fire station was promised for the rapidly-growing area in 2018, but the United Firefighters Union said a series of delays had seen the project repeatedly pushed back.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dash-cam footage or other information, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1800 333 000 or going to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
