A GoFundMe page has been established to help the family of two young children killed in a shed fire at Corio.
Four siblings were in the shed at the Officer Court property on Sunday morning when the blaze broke out.
Two young children, Saige, 3, and Ashlynn, 18 months, died at the scene.
Their siblings remain in a critical condition after being flown to the Royal Children’s Hospital suffering burns.
It is understood the mother was inside the home at the time and tried to help the children before emergency services arrived.
The blaze is not being treated as suspicious, but detective are investigating the cause.
Inspector Emma Bartel said it was heartbreaking for the local community.
“We believe that there were some neighbours that came to help and support as well,” Inspector Bartel said.
“It’s a very close-knit community here.
“There are some long-term relationships amongst the neighbourhood here.”
The fundraiser has been organised by family and friends – more information can be found here.
