Fire officials say yesterday's fire started in a second-floor apartment of a six-story building just blocks from Yankee Stadium.
Five-year-old Elijah Artis, 2-year-old Jeremiah Artis and 4-month-old Michael Turner were pronounced dead at a hospital.
Police say their 25-year-old mother and her two other children, a 4-year-old girl and 4-month-old girl, are stable.
Fire marshals said today the fire was accidental, but there were no smoke alarms. Con Edison says the power was cut because of unpaid bills.
