A 43-year-old man has been charged with setting three children on fire at a home in Perth.

Two girls aged three and seven suffered burns, and were taken to Princess Margaret Hospital For Children, and a six-year-old boy is with his family.

The man allegedly poured a liquid inside the home in Doubleview and set the children on fire, police were told after being called about the disturbance at 12.05 this morning.

An off-duty officer went into the home and took the children to a nearby residence to provide first aid.
