The Bahro family fled the Syrian war for a better life here in Canada.
But life was cut short for their seven children after fire tore through their Halifax home early Tuesday morning.
Fire crews found heavy fire on the first and second floors of the home in the community of Spryfield.
A local mosque and community centre says the kids ranged in age from four months to 15 years old.
