A devastated local community is coming to terms with the tragic deaths of a mother and her daughter in an overnight fire despite heroic attempts by neighbours to save those trapped in the house.

Ten people were inside a property at Heckenberg, in Sydney’s southwest, when the fire broke out shortly after midnight on Wednesday, gutting the family home.
