Huddersfield house fire: Two boys aged two and three die in hospital after blaze

Two boys aged two and three have died in a house fire in Huddersfield. 

Firefighters were called to a house in Alder Street, Fartown, just after 2pm on Saturday.

Their mother was able to escape with her six-year-old son, but the two boys were trapped in their bedroom. 

Fire crews rescued the two boys, but they were later pronounced dead in hospital. 

A fire service spokesman said the fire was not thought to be suspicious, but said investigations were ongoing.
