A man, believed to be in his 50s, was able to escape the fire and was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The woman and three children, who were found deceased at the two-storey townhouse, are yet to be formally identified, a police statement said.

Triple zero call-takers received multiple calls about smoke billowing from the house.

More than 30 firefighters arrived on scene within six minutes and found the garage on the ground level of the house "well alight and the attached residence heavily smoke-logged".

"The home sustained significant fire damage. Occupants from neighbouring residences were evacuated as a precaution, their properties also inspected for fire damage," a Fire Rescue Victoria statement said.

A community warning has been issued for smoke in the area.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
