Twin young girls have died today after a house fire, west of Byron Bay on the New South Wales' Far North Coast.
Emergency services were called to the single-storey property in Goonengarry, shortly after 4am, responding to reports two children were suffering from smoke inhalation.
Police officers and paramedics performed CPR on both children, but the four-year-old girls were unable to be revived.
A woman is also being treated for shock.
The building is part of a multiple-occupancy community, about 30km west of Byron Bay.
Detectives are working with fire investigators to find the cause of the blaze, but initial reports indicate a candle may have been left burning inside the home.
Anyone who has any information about the fire has been asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
