Father-son charged with manslaughter, arson in deadly New York fire

A father-and-son duo whose actions allegedly sparked a deadly nursing home fire in New York are among six people now facing charges in the blaze – which killed a volunteer firefighter and resident.

The duo were slapped with manslaughter and arson charges for the March 23 fire that tore through Evergreen Assisted Living Home in Spring Valley on March 23. The two village building inspectors are accused of falsely filing reports to the state on fire inspection – and two others have warrants out for their arrests, including Evergreen’s director who will face a charge of reckless endangerment, Rockland County District Attorney Tom Walsh announced Tuesday.
