Young brothers die after house fire
Police and fire investigators are trying to discover the cause of a blaze which killed two young brothers.
The boys, aged two and four, died in hospital following the fire in a bedroom of their home on Rashcliffe Hill Road, in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
West Yorkshire Police said the blaze was not being treated as suspicious.
A spokesman said: "We are now working with fire investigators to establish the full circumstances of the fire."
Fire crews were called to the house at 1.12pm on Wednesday and firefighters wearing breathing apparatus rescued the two young children from a bedroom.
The boys were taken by ambulance to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, where they died from their injuries.
Neighbours said builders working on a nearby housing development tried to rescue the children from the fire.
An uncle and cousin of the victims' mother, who did not wish to be named, said they were "sad" about what had happened.
Neighbour Ryan Harris, 29, said: "We noticed the window of their house was ajar and smoke was coming out and there were a lot of people crying.
"My 11-year-old daughter broke down in tears when she noticed it was her friends' house."
