Three European workers who died in bushfires in Western Australia were reportedly trying to save a horse.
The bodies of a Norwegian woman, 29, a British man, 31, and a German woman, 19, were found in a burned-out car south-east of Perth, local media said.
A local farmer was also reportedly killed trying to warn residents of the encroaching fire.
It was the first deadly bushfire of the Australian summer, sparked by lightning over the weekend.
The three European workers reportedly drove away from the property to rescue a horse and took a wrong turn into the fire.
