breaking news. a raging fire in a three-story building. >> that fire now at three alarms, the flames lighting up the sky. this is in bushwick, brooklyn. you can see it on dekalb avenue. >> josh einiger just arrived on the scene. he has the breaking details. >> breaking right now, it's now up to four alarms here on dekalb avenue between knickerbocker and wilson. the wind is a huge factor here. it's been windy all day. this of course is fueling or helping this fire spread from townhouse to townhouse here on dekalb avenue. you see a flame there in the corner of the building. we're basically up wind but if we widen out, look to the left a little bit down the block, you can see how people have been

being kept off of this seed as the fire department struggles to get ahead of happening here on this block. as we come back in and you can see these firefighters heading now in to the scene here, this fire still out of control right here on dekalb avenue. we've heard reports of at least one and possibly a second civilian injury, minor smoke inhalation-related injuries. no reports of injuries to any members of the service, any firefighters. but as you can see, they're still here arriving on the scene and trying to get a handle on the situation here. that's what we can tell you here from the bushwick section of brooklyn. dozens and dozens, possibly 100 people on the street just behind the camera who have been evacuated from their homes here waiting for word on what's going

damage if not destruction to multiple homes. this fire made much, much worse by the very heavy wind on the scene here and we'll continue to follow the situation as it develops throughout this newscast. josh einiger, channel 7 eyewitness news. new details tonight on a house of horrors on long island. where foster churn were allegedly -- where foster children were allegedly abused for years. >> tonight a social worker telling eyewitness news how she alerted authorities but no one would listen. did the system fail these boys? >> eyewitness news reporter stacey sager has her story. >> you had so many agencies supervising these kids that there's no way this should have happened. >> reporter: and as a social worker here at longwood middle school, debi edwards is now talking about how she found herself closer than ever to an

become one of long island's most horrific cases. >> how come you're talking to us now? >> because now it's concrete and it's real. >> reporter: so real it's sickening. a 17-count indictment earlier this month alleging 59-year-old gonzales-mugaburu sexually abused boys in his care, even had sex with his dog, all in the community of ridge. investigators suspect there are far more victims. caesar fostering 140 boys here over 20 years. >> you didn't know they were being sexually abused. >> i had a feeling. i never felt professionally supported to pursue that feeling. >> reporter: she did confront caesar about other problems, problems with three boys loving here. the first -- three boys living here. the first, a 16-year-old boy kicked out for having a girlfriend. >> he said he had nowhere to live.

complaint that went nowhere with the state registry. then four years ago, another complaint about an 11-year-old here at longwood who looked malnourished, afraid, couldn't see very well. for the second time she called caesar herself. >> caesar's response to me, what, when i call you think i should drop my pants for you? i thought that was a really odd response. >> reporter: lastly, another 11-year-old boy who caesar wanted in special ed here at the school because all the subsidies added up to $18,000 a month. >> because it could guarantee money for him, and victims. >> because debi confronted caesar, she says he threatened to sue. he also complained to her bosses here in the long wood school district. the end result, debi edwards says she was prohibited from ever speaking to caesar's foster boys again. >> i'm ashamed that i wanted to keep my job instead of helping them.

>> but you cared about these boys. >> yeah, but i should have done more. >> reporter: in suffolk county, stacey sager, eyewitness news. new tonight in new jersey homicide detectives are investigating the suspicious death of a woman whose body was found on the side of a store. we've learned 73-year-old virginia wilson's body was discovered saturday by a worker at a store on amity street in jersey city. police say she suffered multiple injuries. police arrested a 14-year-old boy. investigators say he brought a knife to a school classroom. it happened at the urban assembly school for careers and sports. police say his intention was to intimidate an older boy who punched him the day before. investigators say the teenager flashed the knife at the older student but did not attack him. the final three republican candidates together again tonight, all three of them though speaking separately and a few expected them to shed light on important policies and proposals. there wasn't much of that.

three was donald trump. eyewitness reporter jim dolan is here with more. >> there were some sharp contrasts among the candidates. ted cruz saying police should patrol and conduct surveillance in muslim neighborhoods. john kasich saying that idea was unconstitutional and almost certainly counterproductive. but as always in these affairs, it was donald trump, his fiery rhetoric and dominance of the campaign who drew most of the attention. >> right now the gop frontrunner, new york businessman donald trump. >> reporter: the three candidates appeared separately in wisconsin tonight for what was described as a town hall meeting. the candidates took questions from audience members and host anderson cooper. all three candidates spent a lot of time on one subject. >> i think nominating donald trump would be an absolute train wreck. i think it would hand the general election to hillary clinton. >> if name calling, bringing in spouses, and ripping each other below the belt and wrestling in the mud is the new politics, we all need to stand against it.

>> i've been treated very unfairly. >> unfairly by who? >> i think by basically the rnc. >> reporter: mr. trump was asked about his campaign manager who was arrested for a misdemeanor this week for an florida. trump said he will stand by him even if there is a political cost. fired him. it would have been easier than talking to you about this. >> if he was your campaign resign? >> of course. >> reporter: trump as always was the most entertaining of the candidates. >> when was the last time you actually apologized for something? >> oh, wow. >> reporter: but cruz showed more personality than usual and acknowledged the campaign has often gotten off message. >> what i'm not interesting in doing is what donald's pattern has been. attacking family members. none of that has any place in politics. >> mr. trump was asked what the

federal government should be. he said security, then education and healthcare. of course most republicans oppose national healthcare and some want to eliminate the department of education all together. perhaps most surprisingly mr. trump did not mention managing the economy or immigration. democratic presidential frontrunner hillary clinton will be in manhattan tomorrow making a brief campaign swing through harlem. clinton will host a rally tomorrow morning at the apollo theater. she plans to discuss income inequality and uniting the nation. new information on a story you saw here first on eyewitness news at 11:00. a mother pleads for help from the public and police to find her son's killer. police say amani miller was lured in to the bayview houses in brooklyn where he was tortured and killed. his mother told eyewitness news it's a mystery why he was there in the first place. josh einiger broke the story.

>> reporter: he had the brightest of futures and led, police say, a perfectly normal, law-abiding life. >> the minute he was born he changed my life. he made me a better person. he made me a better person. and i just miss him so much. i miss him so much. >> reporter: but someone wanted amani miller dead. his mom won't rest until she finds out who and why. miller was slaughtered in canarsie, a place where cops say he had no business but where he was plainly tortured. stabbed so many times and stand so hard, police found the knife's blade embedded in his ribs, and then he was shot multiple times, including once in the head. this was a barbaric crime, a loud crime, but at 2:30 in the afternoon on a monday, police have found not one willing witness. >> we can't understand the dynamic of somebody being killed.

2:30 in the afternoon and nobody hearing or saying anything. everybody in bayview houses should be up in arms. >> reporter: there are no cameras. the closest one captured this image of a livery cab detectives believe carried at least two suspects away but you can't make out the license plate. this heart broken mother is desperate for anyone to come forward with anything that can help solve this case. >> the last words we spoke was we loved each other and that was the last time i spoke to him. that was the last time that i talked to him. we told each other and that's all i have now. that's all i have left. i just have the memories. i just want somebody to please help me and come forward and say something. >> reporter: josh einiger, channel 7 eyewitness news. new tonight, we hear from a livery cab driver who was beaten and robbed by three passengers in manhattan. abduli tells us he picked up the passengers early yesterday

when he arrived at their destination in east harlem, the two women and a man attacked him. >> he pointed to my face, my nose was bleeding and my neck and he was in the back, they punched me too. >> the suspect stole $200. the new york federation of taxi drivers is offering a $500 reward for their capture. still to come, a sickening discovery found inside a chicken dinner. what this mom says she found printed on her children's meal. >> plus, a rat running wild in a subway car. we've got reaction to this viral video. >> and meteorologist lee goldberg working hard in the weather center. >> and we want to hear from our viewers. tomorrow night eyewitness news is hosting a town hall meeting.

when i look at it, i was in shock. >> she says her family suffered stomach aches after the meal. we've reached out to popeye's for comment. haven't heard back. we've reached out to the health department, no comment there either. it's video you've got to see. a giant rat crawls on the subway. this will still make your skin crawl. aj ross is on manhattan's west side with reaction. >> we're not mickey mouse or the cute little guy from ratatoui. >> reporter: step by tiny step, he ascended to where only few rats have been before, jumping aboard the 7 train was only a small hurdle but climbing atop this sleeping subway passenger qualified for video gold. >> oh, my god. like you want to whisper to him, wake up.

and sizable rat put on a show for lin who filmed the entire fiasco. >> i'm getting ready to see where he's going with this rat then all of the sudden i'm like oh, gosh. >> reporter: it was a feat reminiscent of other subway legends before him. remember this stowaway from a couple years ago. then, of course, there's pizza rat. but not everyone has the showmanship necessary to get the crowd going. >> i'm not surprised. it's bound to happen. it's kind of inevitable. i'm just glad it's never happened to me. scared. i'd run i guess. car. i'd get as far away as possible. >> reporter: witnesses say he got off at times square and may be taking a show to broadway.
