Two young children have died after a house fire tore through a property on Mason Street in Wolverhampton on Friday night. Emergency services were called to the scene at around 8.30pm and firefighters entered the burning building wearing breathing equipment to reach the children inside. Despite administering advanced life support at the scene both children were pronounced dead. West Midlands Police confirmed the deaths shortly after.
Two other children and a woman had left the property before emergency services arrived. Paramedics checked all three at the scene but none required hospital treatment.
