Boy, 2, dead and four children injured in North Toowoomba house fire The Toowoomba home where a two-year-old boy died in a fire. A WOMAN has told of desperate attempts by neighbours last night to save a young boy after a family home was ripped apart by a deadly fire. The body of a two-year-old boy was found in the home at North Toowoomba. Four other children, aged seven to 15, were hurt. Trish Gimm said the family had lived at the home for about eight months and had just finished renovating it. Soon after Ms Gimm came home last night a young child from next door ran to her screaming for help saying a fire had broken out in their kitchen. Ms Grimm called 000 but the fire was already raging and a man from across the road ran to the house to help. "There was four kids at home, they were all hysterical," she said.

Ms Gimm said the older children tried to save the young boy when they realised he was still inside. The little fella said there's a little boy and the teenage girl said my nephew's still inside - he's asleep. The young fella down beside me ran up to the window to try to get in and try to get his little nephew out. Ms Gimm said the youngest girl was "hysterical" and a neighbour from across the road "flew around the house and he kicked the door in" to try to reach the toddler. The black smoke it just took over the house. Finally firefighters arrived and took over the rescue mission for the young boy but it was too late. She said thick black smoke was billowing out the window of the young boy's room where the TV was still playing while the fire raged. Ms Gimm said the Fuller's were a quiet, nice family. The kids seem to be really happy. The little fella, he'd just often come over here. Or he'd be running around the front with no nappy on. Investigators will comb through what's left of the home today to determine how the blaze started. Several fire crews rushed to the single-storey timber home on the corner of Jellicoe and Kenilworth streets in North Toowoomba, after a fire broke out just before 6pm on Thursday. Firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the home to search for the missing child. The body of a two-year-old boy was found. TRAGEDY: The scene of the house fire in which a boy, 2, died They are expected to make a full recovery. Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Scott Stahlhut said the four children were two boys aged 10 and 11 and two girls 7 and 15. He wouldn't confirm reports the fire broke out when the eldest child was cooking with oil in the kitchen, but said the fire was not being treated as suspicious. "It is a terrible tragedy," he said. Investigators are on scene this morning with forensics ... they have worked through the night and through the day to bring the investigative phase to a speedy end. He wouldn't confirm the children were home alone, if there were smoke alarms in the house or if neighbours tried to save the young boy saying police were preparing a report for the coroner that would have those details. "There is great community concern and many people throughout the area assisted how they could and from my understanding they did a great job," he said. Det Snr Sgt Stahlhut said the investigation would be "laborious" and "time consuming." It has to be done professionally and thoroughly at this present time. He said counselling would be offered to the family and anyone else who sought it. It took fire crews about an hour to bring the blaze under control. The home was extensively damaged, the Department of Community Safety said. A firefighter was also treated at the scene for smoke inhalation but did not need to be taken to hospital. additional reporting by Kate McKenna, AAP Firefighters at the Kenilworth St address where a child died in a house fire.
