Three Boys Die in Fire Caused by Stove Left on for Passover
The three boys ages six, 13 and 16 years old were pulled out of the second-floor apartment at 104 Ross Street just after six o'clock this morning.
All three were pronounced dead at area hospitals.
Seven other residents were treated with less serious injuries including two women, ages 21 and 18, hurt when they jumped from a second floor window.
Five firefighters were also injured.
The fire spread to a third-floor apartment before being put out by firefighters.
The fire appears to have started from a stovetop that was left burning since Friday before the Sabbath, during which Jewish custom forbids Jews from doing any work.
