A community in Australia has been\u00a0devastated\u00a0<\/b>after a shed fire claimed the lives of young siblings.<\/p>\n

Four-year-old boy Isaac McGregor and his siblings Mavis, six, Saige, three, and Ashlynn, 18 months, were playing in their shed on Saturday morning when a sofa caught fire.<\/p>\n

Their mother Jasmine Beck, 26, raced outside and found Isaac shielding his siblings from the flames.<\/p>\n

She had to move the couch to get to her children and grabbed Mavis first.<\/p>\n

Police Inspector Emma Bartel said neighbours tried to rescue the children before emergency services arrived.<\/p>\n

Saige and Ashlynn died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Isaac and Mavis, both in critical condition, were taken to the Royal Children\u2019s Hospital in Melbourne by their father Kane McGregor.<\/p>\n

They were both placed in intensive care with life-threatening burns on 80 percent of their bodies.<\/p>\n

However, close friend – who started a GoFundMe to support the family – said Isaac had died of his injuries. This was confirmed by Victoria Police.<\/p>\n

“He will always be remembered as the heroic young boy who gave his life trying to protect his siblings,” the\u00a0GoFundMe update read.<\/p>\n

“We thank everyone so much from the bottom of our hearts for all the donations and support. This community is absolutely incredible.”<\/p>\n

His father Kane told reporters he “couldn’t be prouder” of his eldest son for protecting his siblings.<\/p>\n

The father, who was choking back tears, added: “What four-year-old huddles over their two little siblings?”<\/p>\n

Victoria Police said detectives from the Arson and Explosives Squad were investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

They are continuing to treat it as non-suspicious. A report will be prepared for the coroner.<\/p>\n
