Twin toddlers die in house fire at Batlow in regional NSW - ABC News

Three-year-old twin girls have died in a house fire in Batlow in the NSW Snowy Mountains region.

Emergency services were called to a property on Mayday Road at Batlow after reports of a fire just after 11.00am.

After becoming trapped inside, the three-year-old girls were pulled to safety by firefighters.

Paramedics desperately tried to save the badly-burnt children, but they died at the scene.

Detectives investigating the cause of the blaze are yet to say whether it is being treated as suspicious.

The twin's mother and older sibling, aged five, were outside the home when the fire took hold.

Officers from the Riverina police district have established a crime scene and will be assisted by the State Crime Command's Financial Crimes Squad's Arson Unit.

Police are speaking to family members and neighbours as part of the investigation.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
