A house fire in southern Manitoba has killed four children, fire officials say.

Fire chief Bernard Schellenberg said two adults were taken to hospital Feb. 23.

Three other children survived, the blaze broke, which broke out at about 2 a.m. near Morris, Man.

Ralph Groening from Morris, Man., said the two adults were parents to the seven children inside.

Schellenberg said intense heat prevented volunteer fire crews from entering the two-storey farmhouse to rescue the children inside.

Investigators have not yet identified the cause of the fire.
