Investigations continued at the home in Woniora Rd, Burnie, yesterday.
A WOMAN who helped drag two little boys and their father from a car after it exploded will never forget the horrific scene.
Janelle Walker said the boys, aged 5 and 8, were "burned so badly" in the apparent murder-suicide attempt she could not erase the terrible image.
"One of the little boys asked us to take the pain away," she said yesterday.
"It is not the kind of thing you expect to see or the kind of thing you would want anyone else to see."
Ms Walker and two friends broke a locked gate to rescue the man and boys at the Burnie home.
Police said fire accelerants had been placed under the car and open LPG bottles were in the back of the vehicle when it exploded on Wednesday about 5pm.
A 49-year-old man and his two sons were found at the Woniora Rd house suffering burns and in shock. The two boys were flown to Melbourne and are now in a serious condition in the Royal Children's Hospital.
The father, who police are waiting to interview, was taken to Royal Hobart Hospital, where doctors said he was in a critical condition.
Acting Inspector Stuart Wilkinson described the scene that confronted police as "distressing".
He said: "Both boys were conscious.
"It was a very distressing scene for everyone concerned neighbours, police and fire crews.
"Quite a few neighbours came to help out at what first appeared to be a house fire."
Ms Walker and her friends will receive counselling today.
She said the little boys were well known in the street where they had lived for many years.
She said the boys' mother had left the house on Monday.
"We had never heard any trouble from the house before now," Ms Walker said.
"They were very quiet. We feel so terribly sad for everyone involved."
The boys' mother is understood to be in Melbourne where her children are being treated.
Acting Insp Wilkinson said evidence gathered by police at the crime scene had shown the fire was a result of a deliberate act and an attempted murder investigation was now under way.
The car involved is being forensically tested at the Tasmania Police compound at Wivenhoe.
Police said they had not been able to speak to the father yet but expected to charge him soon.
