Suspect Arrested in Bensonhurst Fire That Killed 5
![]() |
The peculiar firestarting is said to have been in response to a dispute with a fellow tenant. The five victims were all Guatemalan immigrants, who have increasingly settled in the area, including a mother who died saving her two children; one baby girl remains in hospitalized after being tossed from a third-story window. The death toll is the highest in a city fire since 2007.
