The NYPD along with the FDNY Fire marshals made an arrest on Saturday night in the arson fire in Flatbush.

Sources confirmed to YWN that�Matthew Karlefsky was taken into custody.

As YWN reported, more than a dozen people were injured – including a 6 week old infant – when a massive fire ripped through three homes early Thursday morning in Brooklyn. Thankfully, there were no life threatening.

YWN was first to report that the four-alarm blaze was being investigated as arson.

The fire broke out around 4:00AM at 1488 East 17 Street near Avenue N in Midwood. Flames quickly spread from one house to two neighboring homes.

The blaze left three homes totally destroyed, and a few families left with nothing.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS WILL BE PUBLISHED WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE TO YWN
