A three-alarm fire at a marijuana grow house located in a Yonkers apartment building resulted in 24 people-including the suspect-being left homeless. Police believe that the electrical system for the suspect's weed farm went haywire, sending the third floor apartment and the entire building up in flames.

Witnesses claim to have seen marijuana plants being removed from the building during the commotion, and the suspect is currently in custody. What a way to blow your cover, especially at the end of the year.
