Arrest In NY LODD (The Secret List)

Hey,
A suspected arsonist has been arrested for setting that house fire, that resulted in the Line of Duty Death of Yonkers (N.Y.) Firefighter Patrick Joyce.
Police arrested and charged dirtbag Rafael Rodan today with second-degree murder, second-degree arson and second-degree burglary. Investigators say he set the fire as payback for the landlord evicting him. Roldan is being held at the Westchester County Department of Corrections, until his arraignment Monday.
Investigators called the fire suspicious, adding the fire erupted in multiple locations within the multi-family dwelling.
Firefighter Patrick Joyce was killed in the Line of Duty Friday and flashover like conditions forced FF Joyce and the 2 other Firefighters out that third-story window, or they had no choice but to jump. We have a pic of that structure on our home page.
Firefighter Joyce leaves behind a wife and two little girls. Meanwhile, Lt. Joseph Murray and Firefighter William Kanych are in serious but stable condition.
Take Care-BE CAREFUL.
