A toddler has died and his father left seriously injured following an early morning house fire.
Emergency services were called to a Newbury Street home in Werribee, in Melbourne's southwest, just after midnight on Monday.
Crews extinguished the blaze before finding a child dead inside, Victoria Police said.
A male resident was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The child has been identified as three-year-old Jordan Dashwood in multiple media reports.
The injured man is reported to be his 40-year-old father, Jeremy Dashwood.
Two family dogs also perished in the blaze, according to the ABC.
Fire crews arrived at the scene within minutes, by which time the single-storey brick home was fully alight, Fire Rescue Victoria said.
It took about an hour for 40 firefighters to bring the blaze under control.
