Three children died and four adults suffered smoke inhalation when a house caught fire in Mitchell's Plain on Wednesday, Cape Town Fire Services said.
“It was one house that was burning and three children sustained fatal injuries and four adults suffered slight smoke inhalation,” Fire Services spokesman Theo Layne said.
He said the adults were treated at the scene and taken to hospital by ambulance.
The fire services received a call reporting the fire in East Street from a neighbour at 8.05am.
“The fire is out... it took them less than 20 minutes to make the area safe.”
Layne said they had not confirmed the relationship between the children and the adults and the case would be handed over to the police for further investigation.
The cause of the fire was still unknown and would be investigated.
