Tragically police can confirm a young child has died in a shed fire at Mowbray this afternoon.
Police and emergency services were called to the fire on Verdun Street shortly after 1:30pm.
The shed was fully alight when police and Tasmania Fire Service crews arrived minutes later.
A toddler was found deceased, and another young child was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
An adult was also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
TFS fire investigators will conduct an investigation to determine the cause of the fire and police will prepare a report for the Coroner.
Our thoughts and condolences are with everyone affected.
