FORDHAM, Bronx (WABC) — The death toll in last week’s apartment fire in the Bronx<\/a> has now risen to three children.<\/p>\n

The fire happened last Monday night after flames broke out at a building on Bainbridge Avenue in Fordham.<\/p>\n

Liam Parks, 1, was killed and his 6-year-old twin siblings were in critical condition.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Eyewitness News learned that the twins, a boy and a girl, have also died from injuries suffered in the fire.<\/p>\n

Two adults and three firefighters were also injured in the blaze.<\/p>\n

FDNY officials believe that doors left open as occupants fled may have helped the fire spread.<\/p>\n
