Black Sunday Blaze Trial Set

The owners and two tenants accused of causing an inferno in a Bronx building that killed two firefighters nearly four years ago will face a jury on manslaughter charges in December, a judge said yesterday.

"We want to get these people tried and, hopefully, convicted of the crimes they've committed," said firefighter Eugene Stolowski, who survived the infamous 2005 Black Sunday blaze.

A resident at the East 178th Street building erected a partition to create a space she sublet. That partition blocked firefighters' way out, forcing them to leap from a fourth-floor window. Two of them died.
