Burning questions
City probes B'klyn arsons as cops keep the heat on
The Daily News
BY Russ Buettner and Patrice O'Shaughnessy
Ratner's Atlantic Yards proposal is listed among the community's concerns in the months after a series of arson fires in Prospect Heights remains unsolved.
Detective Albert Arredondo said he has enlisted cops from narcotics enforcement, gangs and warrants to aid the investigation of the fatal fire. "We haven't ruled out any facet but we're not looking for a random firebug here. We've heard all the concerns, the Ratner [Atlantic Yards] project, gentrification."
NoLandGrab: No one is saying that Bruce Ratner is in any way connected to the arsons, but it must be a concern to the developer that he has become the Bogeyman of Brooklyn.
