Three children have been found dead following a tragic house fire, it is reported.
The bodies were said to have been discovered after a blaze swept through a home in Port Hedland, Western Australia.
Emergency services were alerted to the fire at 4.45pm on Tuesday afternoon, with firefighters discovering the bodies of the children after they had brought the blaze under control.
Police are on the scene with specialist investigators working to establish the cause of the fire, nine.com.au reports.
Officers from major crime division and forensics are expected to join the investigation.
Port Hedland is a small mining town with a population of just over 14,000 people located 1,000 miles north-east of Perth in the Pilbara region.
The news comes a day after a pizza delivery driver was hailed as a hero after rescuing five kids trapped in a burning building.
Nicholas Bostic, 25, sustained serious injuries while ignoring his own safety to save two children and three teens as their home burned to a cinder around them.
After the daring rescue, he was flown to hospital in Indianapolis and treated for severe smoke inhalation and a massive wound to his right arm, according to Louisiana's Lafayette Police Department.
Giving his report to police in hospital, Bostic recalled he was driving past the home on July 11 when he saw it was consumed with flames.
