A man and two young boys have died in a fire at their home in Kingaroy, in Queensland's South Burnett this afternoon, police say.
A woman and a toddler have been taken to the Kingaroy hospital.
The Queensland Ambulance Service said the little boy suffered serious injuries, and the woman was in shock.
The fire broke out on Kingaroy St in Kingaroy about 1pm.
Police said the family had moved to the south-east Queensland town from Cherbourg just before Christmas.
Jacinda Osborn, who lives around the corner from Kingaroy Street, saw smoke billowing from the property.
"Big black smoke [was] coming over the rooftops, and then when I came out properly you could see the flames flickering through all the smoke," Ms Osborn said.
"We could hear the ambulance and the firies and everything just around the corner.
"It was quite loud because we are so close."
Police said as per protocol, the fire was being treated as suspicious until deemed otherwise.
State fire investigators have travelled from Brisbane to the scene to try to determine the cause of the blaze.
