NEW YORK - A 13-year-old girl has been arrested on charges of setting a fire in her classroom that injured six people, including two fellow students, the New York City Fire Department said Wednesday. The teenager was charged with fourth-degree arson after allegedly starting the blaze in her homeroom class at Intermediate School 228 in Brooklyn. Investigators said the girl was playing with a cigarette lighter when she ignited some papers just before school let out. She threw the flaming papers inside a wooden coat closet that was storing books and clothes.
