Four children under the age of 11 have died after being trapped inside a two-storey house that went up in flames in the northern Manitoba city of Thompson on Wednesday night, police say.
A 41-year-old woman who escaped the fire told police she was in the basement with a 62-year-old man when they heard the sound of a fire upstairs, an RCMP news release said.
They made it to the main floor but were forced out by the smoke and fire.
Her five children, age four to 13, were upstairs. The eldest climbed out a window and jumped to escape, but the other four children didn't get out.
Shirley Robinson, a band councillor in Pimicikamak and a cousin of the children's mother, is acting as a family spokesperson. She confirmed Thursday that the children were Helen Joy Keeper, 10, Leon Keeper Jr., 9, Big Bear Keeper, 7, and Rowan Thomas, 4.
