Police search for couple after Braybrook fire

Police are trying to locate a man and a woman after their apartment was destroyed by a fire in Braybrook on Monday morning.

Emergency services arrived at the Lord Place property at 6.20am. Fire investigators are not expected at the scene until midday.

The fire is not being treated as suspicious.

In another incident, a smoke alarm has saved a family in Taylors Lake from a house fire.

The two members who were in the house at the time woke up after the smoke alarm went up. They evacuated before firefighters arrived at the Queen Vic Crescent home just after midnight.

The fire caused extensive damage to the roof of the two-storey house and took firefighters about 45 minutes to bring under control, the MFB says.

Police are investigating the fire.
