Three children have died and a woman has been seriously injured in a house fire in East Yorkshire.
The fire broke out at the property in Clarence Avenue, Bridlington, shortly before midnight.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service confirmed the children, whose ages have not been revealed, had died.
The 27-year-old woman, who is thought to be the children’s mother, is said to be in a serious but stable condition at Scarborough General Hospital.
A fire service spokeswoman said: “It is too early at this stage to ascertain the cause of the fire, but it is believed the fire started inside the property.
“Police and the fire service are investigating.”
The spokeswoman said she could not say at this stage whether the fire was being treated as suspicious.
