Four children are dead following a house fire on Queens Bay Wednesday night.

Thompson Fire and EMS and RCMP were at the scene to find the home fully engulfed in flames.

A 41-year-old woman, a 62-year-old man, and a 13-year-old girl were able to escape the blaze, but the woman informed authorities that her four other children were still inside the second floor of the home.

Once the fire was brought under control, firefighters located the four children and had them transported to hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
