Woman 'sets fire to Brooklyn apartment and leaves eight hurt including child after fight with her mom'
A WOMAN allegedly torched her apartment, leaving eight injured, including a child, after getting into a spat with her mother.
Officials say the argument between Anna Lambert, 34, and her mother began at around 9pm Tuesday inside their third-floor Coney Island apartment in Brooklyn.
Police say the dispute prompted the daughter to go into her bedroom, lock the door and pour “an unknown substance on the door," the FDNY told the New York Post.
The mother then saw smoke pouring from the room and immediately alerted fire officials.
It took more than 100 FDNY firefighters to put out the flames using a portable ladder to rescue the “panicked” mom from the third floor.
Fire officials said the mother suffered serious but non-life-threatening burns.

“One member climbed up and guided her down. There was no other way for her to get out of the apartment,” the spokesperson said.
Five other residents, including a child who was seriously injured, and two firefighters were injured in the blaze.
The fire was extinguished by 10.30pm.
Police arrested and charged Lambert with second-degree arson.
