    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The investigation into a house fire on Russell Island, which claimed the lives of a father and his five sons on Sunday, is expected to take days as authorities continue to sift through the wreckage of the home.

    Police remain on the scene today and have cordoned off Todman Street where three homes were engulfed in flames just after 6.20am.

    Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham said this morning that police were keeping an open mind about the cause of the fire.

    Detective Superintendent Massingham said the police investigation would attempt to identify the exact point of ignition of the fire.

    Yesterday, police said they believed they had found the bodies of five young boys and their 34-year-old father, Wayne Godinet, in the charred rubble of their home.

    Redland City Council Mayor Karen Williams said it was difficult to fathom the extent of the tragedy.
