6-Year-Old Started Deadly Brooklyn Fire
POSTED: 3:55 pm EST January 4, 2008
UPDATED: 4:48 pm EST January 4, 2008
NEW YORK -- A 6-year-old boy started the Brooklyn apartment fire that led to the death of a New York Fire Department lieutenant on Thursday, fire officials told WNBC.com.
The boy lit the packaging of his toy car with a gas stove that his family was using to heat the apartment, according to officials. Fire Marshals investigated and determined the cause.
Officials said the boy, fearing he'd get in trouble, hid the smoldering paper under his mom's bed and that ignited the fire.
Lt. John H. Martinson, 40, was found unconscious in the apartment where the fire began in a building on the site of the former Ebbets Field, officials said.
"He gave everything he had," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news conference late Thursday at Kings County Hospital Center, where Martinson had been taken. "His death really breaks the hearts of all of us."
Martinson died of smoke inhalation and thermal burns, officials said.
The blaze broke out in a 14th-floor apartment, but its residents had left the front door open, and that let smoke flow out into the 400-apartment building, Bloomberg said.
Martinson was among more than 100 firefighters who worked to quell the blaze in the 25-story building on Bedford Avenue in the Ebbets Field Houses complex, named for the ballpark that was once home to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
