An early morning fire Monday that did minor damage to a house is being investigated as a possible arson.
Town of Ramapo Police officers and Monsey firefighters responded to a report of a house fire at 122 Route 59 in Monsey at about 4:19 a.m. arrived on the scene and found that the fire had already been extinguished by the residents.
Detectives investigated and determined that the fire was intentionally set. The investigation revealed that a suspect had thrown a flammable object through a bedroom window and that the object started a fire in the bedroom.
There were two people in the bedroom and a total of 16 people in the house at the time. There were no reported injuries.
At this time, it is not believed that this arson is related to the incident that had occurred in New Square on May 22.
Ramapo Police were assisted at the scene by the Rockland County Sheriff’s BCI Arson Unit.
Investigation into this arson is continuing. Anyone who may have information is asked to contact the Ramapo Police at 845-357-2400.

What happened in New Square on May 22?
There was no hava amina that this was related to any incident in New Square.
The tenants, 16 of them , were Spanish “immigrants”. The only reason this was reported in the local papers was to infer falsely that Jews had anything to do with it.
Its bad enough that the local papers, which are well known for there bias would report the news thus, but does Yeshiva World have to follow their disgusting lead?
Does you mean that Yidden only fire bomb other Yidden but not Spanish immigrants?
