One person dead, another critical after house fire

One person has died and a man is fighting for his life after a fire ripped through a house in inner-Melbourne.

The blaze broke out at a house in Hale Street, Kew, at about 8am.

A man has been taken to the Alfred Hospital with burns to 90 per cent of his body.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

More to come.
