POLICE have dragged a man from his burning home in South Australia after he apparently searched in vain for his three-year-old son, who died in the fire.
The boy's body was found inside the home, while his father was taken to hospital with critical injuries.
The man's wife and two other children escaped the blaze.
Emergency crews arrived to find the house at Burdett, southeast of Adelaide, fully alight just after 1.30am Saturday (ACST).
Superintendent Les Buckley said police found the man inside the burning home and went inside to save him.
"It appears as though the father has gone back into the house to look for the three-year-old child who was not with the other people from the home," he told reporters.
The man, 41, was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition.
His wife suffered minor burns and she and the two children, who escaped injury, were taken to hospital.
Supt Buckley said the officers acted bravely.
"It's an extremely heroic action by the officers involved," he said.
"They've put their own lives at risk to be able to save this gentleman.
"This is something that police do if we need it to be done and I'm very proud of them."
The fire's cause is being investigated, but is not deemed suspicious at this stage.
A report is being prepared for the coroner.
