A two-storey weatherboard home has been destroyed by fire and cloaked a neighbourhood in smoke in Glenroy, north of Melbourne’s CBD, yesterday evening.

Emergency services were called to the residence on View Street around 8.30pm last night after a blaze broke out.

A crew of 24 firefighters wearing breathing apparatus worked to control the flames, which sent a large amount of smoke billowing through the local area.

No one was injured, however neighbours were advised to stay indoors and keep windows closed.

“It was very noisy… you could hear the popping, the sparking, the cracking,” a witness told the TODAY Show.

Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
