Two young men have died following a suspicious house fire in north Queensland.

Emergency services rushed to the Townsville property on Friday after the blaze erupted at 3pm.

Firefighters ran in to save two 18-year-old men who were inside.

Both suffered serious injuries and died in hospital.

Two other men were at the home but were not injured.

Police consider the fire to be suspicious, and are appealing for anyone with CCTV or video from Chandler Street, Garbutt, about the time of the blaze to come forward.
