Boy dies after suffering severe burns in house fire

Police said two other teenagers, aged 12 and 14, remained in a critical but stable condition.

They said investigations into Thursday's blaze at Mount Tarcoola in Geraldton were ongoing.

Callers reported smoke coming from the roof of the brick and tile house and eight fire crews arrived to find it fully engulfed.

Three boys were found at the scene, and a fourth, also aged 13, was located at a nearby home.

He was treated at Geraldton Hospital for moderate burns and later discharged.
