Police say there is no threat to public safety and the investigation is ongoing.

Local SES volunteers are at the scene, sandbagging the area, according to the Herald Sun.

A neighbour told the Sun the occupants of the home had lived there for several years.

“I see them from time to time, working on their cars,” he said. “I don’t have much to do with them.”
