Neighbours rescue six kids left at home alone after house goes up in flames

Neighbours rescued six children after a house went up in flames in southern Perth.

Emergency services were called to the home at about 8.30pm on Friday, on Manberry Way in Yangebup.

9News understands the children had been home alone and one of them had been using the stove when a blanket caught fire.

Neighbours helped get all the children to safety.

Police said six children had been taken to hospital in a stable condition, and two men were in hospital in a stable condition.

The fire was extinguished but the house sustained “significant” damage.

A 38-year-old Yangebup woman was arrested and charged with one count of failing to protect a child from harm.

She will appear in court on October 6.
