 The village of Ffair Rhos in Ceredigion, western Wales.

A three-year-old boy has died in a caravan fire while his four-year-old brother is fighting for life in hospital, police say.

Police said the two children are believed to have been inside the caravan with their father when the fire broke out in the village of Ffair Rhos in Ceredigion, western Wales.

The father managed to escape with the older sibling, but the three-year-old boy was later found dead inside.

Both survivors suffered burns and the father is in a stable condition while his four-year-old child is said to be in a critical but stable condition.

Officers are investigating the cause of the fire, which they were called to shortly after 5.30am on Sunday, however they are not treating the incident as suspicious.

Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Cockwell, of Dyfed-Powys Police, said: “Our thoughts are with his family at this extremely difficult and traumatic time, and specialist officers have been put in place to support them.

“We would like to thank our colleagues at the fire service for their professionalism in dealing with what turned out to be a highly traumatic incident.
