Twin girls killed in house fire believed to have been sparked by burning candle
Twin girls, aged just 4-years-old, have died in a tragic house fire west of Byron Bay this morning.
Emergency crews rushed to a home along Mafeking Road at Goonengarry around 4am, following reports of the blaze.
Upon arrival, paramedics immediately began CPR on both children, however, sadly they were unable to be revived.
A woman is being treated for shock.
According to police, the building is part of a “multiple-occupancy community”, about 30km west of Byron Bay.
Investigations into the cause of the blaze are now underway, however initial investigations indicate a candle left burning inside the home may be to blame.
