They battled the flames and took his two sisters, aged six and 11, and his three-year-old brother to hospital.

Heartbroken locals named the ‘happy, smiling’ girl Eliza – with flowers left at the police cordon outside the house. West Yorks.

One resident said: “My daughter used to play with it in the back garden.

“She played with him a few days ago on the slide they have in their garden. “My daughter is very sad to lose her friend.”

Another said: “My daughter is very upset. I saw the mother being taken out of the building, she couldn’t get out on her own.

“I only saw flames in the girls’ bedroom. It’s devastating.”

Eliza’s mother, 37, was also sent to the hospital, but her father, a teacher, was not at home at the time.

The fire is not being treated as suspicious and the young girl’s death has been described as an “absolutely tragic incident”.

The flames appeared to be concentrated in the upstairs front bedroom, where Elisa slept, according to neighbors.
