A targeted fire which started in Melbourne’s west spread to a nearby building, resulting in the deaths of two people.
Emergency services were called to the blaze on Bunnett Street, in Sunshine North, just after 4am after multiple calls to emergency services.
The fire spread to a building behind the panel shop in Marshall Street where two people were sleeping inside at the time.
They died at the scene and are yet to be formally identified.
Arson and Explosives Squad detectives are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal fire.
Detectives believe the fire is a targeted attack, however, the two people who died are not associated with the panel shop business.
Police do not believe Friday’s arson attack is connected to the string of fires in Melbourne relating to the illicit tobacco industry.
Fire Rescue Victoria arrived on the scene at 4.07am to find a single-level tilt slab factory fully ablaze.
About 50 firefighters responded to the intense factory fire.
According to a spokesman from Fire Rescue Victoria, the initial job was upgraded when crews observed smoke rising from the facility en route to the scene.
The fire was declared Under Control at 6.55am.
Ambulance Victoria were also on the scene to monitor the health of the firefighters.
