Three children were killed and three other people were injured in a fire at a Bronx apartment building on Friday night, the Fire Department said.

The fire, in a six-story building at 64 West 165th Street, at Anderson Avenue, began just before 8 p.m. and centered on Apt. 2C, a Fire Department spokesman said.

Three siblings, Elijah Artis, 5; Jeremiah Artis, 2; and Michael Turner, 4 months, were pronounced dead on arrival at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, the police said. All three had apparently been in Apt. 2C, the authorities said.
