Turtle sparks fast-moving blaze

But officials say
one firefighter and three police officers suffered smoke inhalation in Monday's
fire in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Another turtle that lived in a water tank was
killed. The New York Post says both reptiles resided in their owner's bedroom.

Eighteen-year-old Mohamed Salem and his family were not home at the time. Fire
officials say the heat lamp crashed to the floor, igniting a pile of art
supplies, including thinner and paint. Within minutes, the Post reports, the
fire spread through the third floor apartment.
