Garbage Fire Lit By Child Arsonists Smokes Up Southern Crown Heights
by CrownHeights.info
Thick smoke choked the area of Brooklyn Ave and Empire Blvd Monday after a group of children lit a pile of boxes on fire before wandering off.
The incident took place Monday night with the group attempting, and failing, to light a pile of boxes left on the street corner. After multiple failures, one of the group got a hold of a piece of paper which they then used to get the boxes burning.
The group then wandered off.
Seeing the flames, local residents and Shomrim volunteers took action and grabbed fire extinguishers, putting out the flames before the fore department arrived.
