The children's grandfather collapsed with his son in his arms as he recalled the horrific moment he arrived at the scene. The fire broke out early Friday morning, April 28, with firefighters being called just after 5am to the four-storey apartment building on Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant. A f){kind=link}
