Red Deer County Fire Service members evacuated everyone from the homes including four people from one house suffering from a range of injuries.
It took several hours for the fire to be extinguished. Unfortunately, crews discovered the body of a seven-year-old girl inside that home.
On Tuesday, RCMP said a five-year-old boy had also succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
Two adults, a man and a woman, and another young boy continue to recover.
Fire crews are still investigating the cause of the fire.
To respect the privacy of the family involved in the fire, no further information will be provided by RCMP at this time.
