Firefighters have battled to save a fire in a Maribyrnong garage from spreading to the house and adjoining properties.

MFB firefighters were called to the blaze on Rosamond Road just before 8am on Thursday morning following multiple Triple Zero calls from members of the public.

Crews arrived on the scene in five minutes to find the garage fully engulfed in flames.

About 24 firefighters took just over 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control, successfully keeping it contained and saving the house and neighbouring properties.

The South bound lanes of Rosamond Road between River and Mitchell Streets remains closed and people are advised to avoid the area if possible.

No injuries were reported from the incident.

MFB crews remain at the scene to fully extinguish the blaze and the specialist Fire Investigation Unit is working to determine its cause.
