Death toll rises after 3 children killed in Bronx apartment fire
FORDHAM, Bronx (WABC) -- The death toll in last week's apartment fire in the Bronx has now risen to three children.
The fire happened last Monday night after flames broke out at a building on Bainbridge Avenue in Fordham.
Liam Parks, 1, was killed and his 6-year-old twin siblings were in critical condition.
On Monday, Eyewitness News learned that the twins, a boy and a girl, have also died from injuries suffered in the fire.

FDNY officials believe that doors left open as occupants fled may have helped the fire spread.
