They battled the blaze and rushed three children and a woman to hospital.

Tragically another child was found inside the house and pronounced dead at the scene.

Footage of the scene showed a two-storey home with a blown-out window on the upper floor.

The paint around the windows on the upper levels appeared to be blackened from fire and smoke.

Cops and investigators could be seen walking around the property, and West Yorkshire Police confirmed it is probing the fire.

The force said: "At 1.08 this morning Police were called by the fire service to reports of a serious house fire on Kingsdale Drive, Bradford.
