A young boy has died in a caravan fire here at Bort in northern central Victoria.
00:08
Emergency services were called to the Lakeview Street property just before 6 o'clock last
00:13
night so paramedics and police have attended that scene.
00:16
They don't yet know how the fire came to start but they believe the boy was asleep inside
00:21
at the time.
00:22
So Bort is 255 kilometres northwest of Melbourne.
00:25
It's typically a small country town but at this time of the year, given that the lake
00:29
is here, it's a really popular holiday spot for people to come so this morning even we've
00:34
seen people swimming and skiing around the lake and all sorts of water sports.
00:38
We've spoken to some nearby residents this morning and they've said that what they saw
00:43
yesterday afternoon was a bit of smoke coming out and they didn't really think too much
00:47
of it.
00:48
That smoke has then turned into a big fire and they were shocked this morning to hear
00:52
that a young boy had died in that fire.
00:56
Arsonists and chemists have arrived on scene this morning from Melbourne and they're combing
01:00
through the scene today just to find out what the cause is behind this fire that has tragically
01:05
killed this young boy.
