Police say an 8-year-old boy has died in a fire sparked by a space heater in a residential building in Brooklyn.
Police and firefighters responded to the fire at a building on Bedford Avenue in Flatbush early Saturday and found the boy unconscious and unresponsive.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not immediately released.
Firefighters determined the space heater was too close to some combustible items. It's not immediately clear what they were.
