The community is trying to come to terms with the tragedy which comes less than six months after father-of-seven Deavon Harrison, aged 46, was killed in a shooting at a nearby house.
The fire began at the property on Dunstall Hill at 2am on Saturday and more than 20 firefighters from across the Black Country rushed to the scene.
Tragically, two women, believed to be sisters, in their early 20s died at the scene despite the best efforts of the emergency services. Four other occupants of the house were taken to hospital, with one woman described as being in a "serious condition".
West Midlands Police immediately swamped the area with detectives and officers.
Within hours they had arrested two men, 19 and 22, and they were immediately quizzed by detectives about the blaze. The police applied for extra time to question them. It is believed they are known to the victims.
Yesterday another man, aged 46 and also believed to have been known to the victims, was arrested in connection with the fire.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We've arrested a third man as investigations into a fatal house fire in Wolverhampton continue. We're continuing to work with the fire service to establish the cause of the fire which happened at just before 2am.
