The victims were identified as two female Marist Collegestudents and one male, who was not a student at the school. Their names have not been released.
The cause of the fire in Poughkeepsie remains under investigation.
Town Police Chief Thomas Mauro says the off-campus house was being rented by six female Marist students. Several had guests there Friday night. A group of four residents and their male guests stayed the night, while others went elsewhere.
The fire was called in to 911 about 1:30 a.m. Saturday.
Four people made it out of the fire, were taken to a hospital, treated and released.
