DCI Kylie Westlake, from the public protection unit, said: “This is a truly tragic incident and our thoughts remain very much with those who loved the children who have been lost.

“We understand the shock and distress this awful incident will have caused to many people and we are working at pace to ascertain exactly what has happened.

“Officers have arrested a woman on suspicion of causing or allowing the death of two children.

“While we would ask people not to speculate about this or the wider incident, we would ask that anyone who can help with our enquiries, and who is yet to speak with us, to get in contact.”

The force said: “Officers were called to the fire in Mason Street at around 8.30pm along with colleagues from West Midlands Fire Service and West Midlands Ambulance Service.

“Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property and rescued two young children.

“Sadly despite the best efforts of the emergency services nothing could be done to save them and they were pronounced dead at the scene.

“Two other children and a woman were already out of the house before emergency services arrived.

“They were checked over by ambulance staff but did not need hospital treatment and were discharged at the scene.”

Fire crews from Bilston, West Bromwich and Bloxwich Fire Stations attended the scene, West Midlands Fire Service confirmed.

Two ambulances, three paramedics, HART paramedics, a trauma team and a critical care car from Midlands Air Ambulance attended.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said medics worked rapidly to administer advanced life support to both children.
