Philadelphia business owner, accomplice charged for starting blaze that killed firefighter
Fox News
Two Philadelphia men have been charged with conspiracy and malicious damage after a firefighter died in a blaze set to aid in a false insurance claim.
The building housed a pizza shop and some upstairs apartments. Authorities have said Khalil and Jaghama entered the restaurant’s basement doors and started a fire in the kitchen area. Prosecutors said the pair set the fire so Khalil could profit by filing an insurance claim.
The June 18 blaze killed Lt. Sean Williamson, 51, who was trapped in the rubble and pronounced dead at the scene.
