Seven Children were killed and two others are critical after a fire ripped through a brick home in a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn.
The victims were buried in Jerusalem.
Commissioner Daniel Nigro said the fire started when a ‘hot plate’, left on overnight to keep food warm, malfunctioned and caught fire.
The children, ages 5 to 15 were found dead in their bedrooms. FDNY says there was no smoke detectors on the first or second floor of the home, only one in the basement.
