TRENTON - Two toddler boys and their 21-year-old mother perished yesterday morning in a blaze that devoured their Garfield Avenue home, then spread to four other attached homes, displacing about 18 residents, officials said.

The city's deadliest fire in five years took the lives of Schirita Furcrohn, 21, and her sons Cameron Isabell, 3, and Aquintus Isabell, 2. They were all found dead inside the home at about 6 a.m., an hour after a battalion of city firefighters was alerted to the burning house on the first block of Garfield Avenue.
