A fire ripped through a building in Crown Heights not once, but twice Sunday, neighbors say.

Tenants say as they grabbed their belongings to evacuate the Franklin Avenue building after a fire demolished the top floor and several apartments on the lower floors, another fire started.

Firefighters say they were called around 1:30 p.m. and were able to place that fire under control around 2:30 p.m.

The American Red Cross helped tenants by offering hotels and financial relief.

Tenants of the building tell News 12 that the fire started when a little girl on the second floor threw what they called a "fire bug" outside the building, but it caught on fire on one of the curtains in an apartment on a lower floor before spreading back up to the fourth floor.
