The Mounties say they were not injured.

Police say the 40-year-old man was rescued by a neighbour, but he was listed in critical condition in hospital.

Firefighters rescued the three other children — ages five, six and nine years old — but there was no word on their condition.

The cause of the fire is under investigation and the province’s fire marshal has been called in.
