Lawsuit Filed Against The Fire Department Saying A Careless Inspection By Firefighters Led To The Tragedy
New Jersey - The parents of four Teaneck children killed in a house fire two years ago sued the township and its fire department on Monday, saying a careless inspection by firefighters led to the tragedy. Township firefighters had inspected the home of Philyss Seidenfeld the evening of March 21, 2005, after she called to say she smelled smoke. They left 30 minutes later after declaring the house safe - only to receive calls about five hours later that it was engulfed in flames and thick smoke.
