Emergency services were called to the scene in Dunmurry overnight.<\/p>\n
Three others were taken to hospital.<\/p>\n
The PSNI said: \u201cAt approximately 3.55am on Saturday police received a report of an ongoing fire at a property in the Areema Drive area.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers attended alongside colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service who extinguished the fire.<\/p>\n
\u201cA man aged in his 50s, a 19-year-old woman, and 11-year-old girl who were also in the property, were taken onward to hospital for treatment to smoke inhalation.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers are continuing to conduct enquiries into the circumstances of the fire. At this stage, however, it is not being treated as suspicious.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Friday the NI Fire & Rescue Service warned people about safety after two other fatal house blazes.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the service said today: \u201cSadly this is the third loss of life within the last 24 hours. It is unusual to have so many house fire fatalities over such a brief period but we have seen a rise in this type of incident this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first happened at 10.55am at Queen Victoria Gardens in the Fortwilliam area of Belfast, where a young man died.<\/p>\n
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel jet to extinguish the blaze. A man in his 20s died at the scene.<\/p>\n
About 90 minutes later, at 12.30pm, crews from Bangor and Newtownards attended a second incident at Abbey Park in Bangor.<\/p>\n
