The fire started in the Bauniabadh slum in Mirpur-11’s Block D at 4:15 am on Saturday, said Russel Sikder, control room officer of the fire service.
The victims have been identified as Kolpona Begum, 32, her son Kausar Hossain, 10, and her daughter Jannat Akter, 12.
Three small shacks were gutted in the fire which was subsequently doused by two units of fire service. Firemen later recovered the three bodies from one of the shanties.
The authorities suspect that the fire was sparked by a mosquito coil.
Homeless and destitute people had established the settlement on the government land by erecting small tin-shed houses, said Pallabi Police Station SI Shafiar Rahman.
