FIVE people have managed to escape from a house fire in western Victoria when they were woken by a smoke alarm.

Fire crews attended a fire at a house in Yarrowee Street, Sebastopol, near Ballarat, about 3.10am (AEST) today.

The five adults inside were woken by a smoke alarm and managed a safe escape, a Country Fire Authority (CFA) spokesman said.

Twenty-five firefighters confined the blaze to the roof of the single-storey aluminium-clad house, the spokesman said.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Smoke alarms should be fitted outside each sleeping area and in each bedroom if the occupants smoke in the bedroom, have heaters or electrical appliances in their bedroom or if their door is shut preventing them from hearing the alarm outside their door.
Homeowners should test their alarm once a month by operating the test button and vacuum or use a soft brush to clear the grill on the smoke alarm every month or so to make sure it is dust free.Smoke and fire are killers that often strike while people are asleep. A well maintained smoke alarm is the surest way to protect your home and family.
