Three people are critically ill in hospital after they were rescued from a burning house in north Belfast.
A man, woman and baby girl were taken from a house in the Ardoyne area late last night.
They were rescued from the upstairs of the property on Jamaica Street just before midnight.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
The alarm was raised by a taxi driver who first saw the fire.
One man ran into the house and tried to get to the baby girl who was upstairs, but was beaten back by the heat.
Fire officers say the fire was "well developed" on the ground floor when they arrived.
They removed the man, woman and infant from the premises - and fire crews worked with the paramedics to look after them.
They were unconscious at the time and were taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information.
The fire service says in a statement that "crews rescued two adults and a child from the house; and used Microvents to administer oxygen therapy to the casualties for smoke inhalation at the scene."
Sinn Fein councillor Gerry McCabe says the community is in a state of shock.
