"I will forever miss you both"

A GoFundMe page has been started in memory of the “beautiful angels”.

The children’s uncle took to Facebook to pay an emotional tribute to them.

“I will forever miss you both. And cherish the times of happiness we all got to share!” Travis McGregor wrote.

"Our hearts go out to the family"

Emergency services rushed to the property to respond to the incident shortly after 10.30am.

The cause of the fire is under investigation but it is not currently being treated as suspicious, police confirmed in a statement.

Inspector Emma Bartel said it was a “horrific scene” when emergency crews arrived on Sunday.

“As you can imagine with children involved it really it’s difficult for officers and all of our emergency services to respond but the training kicks in,” she said.

“They’re primary concern was the medical health of these children and looking after these children.

“Many of our officers and fellow emergency services are parents as well.

“Our hearts go out to the family and the community here.”

"It's an awful, tragic event"

Inspector Bartel said investigators, including the Arson squad, will now work to determine what occurred at the “confronting scene”.

“We do know there were four children playing together in the shed.

“There’s a lot we don’t know at this stage, we’ve spoken to the family and we’ve spoken to neighbours.

“We’re trying to piece it together. Our arson investigators are coming, who will be able to help and also (figure out) what’s happened and what’s taken place.

“It’s an awful tragic event that’s happened.

“For the families and those in the community we owe it to them what did take place and give them some answers.”
