Two children burnt in house fire

A devastating and tragic fire has claimed the life of two children, after the fire broke out in their home in Kwa Thema in Springs.

The eleven and six year old children were found inside one of the rooms of the house, badly burnt and they appeared to have been clutching one another. With their little bodies that badly burnt, there was no more that rescuers could do for them and the family looked on as paramedics declared them dead.

The cause of the fire is not known but a large portion of the house had been destroyed with Fire Fighters putting out the fire after which all necessary investigations will need to take place before the cause can be determined.

Three family members has managed to escape the burning house, and they stood outside watching, but fortunately not injured.
