FDNY EMT torches his own car, police say

NEW YORK — An FDNY paramedic was busted for lighting his own car — a new BMW 535 — on fire in Brooklyn, cops said yesterday.

Glenroy Griffith, 39, set his gray 2008 sedan on fire by Prospect Park's Wollman Rink near Lincoln Road on Friday afternoon, police sources said.

"He opened the side door of the car, lit a match, threw it inside and walked away," one witness told cops.

It was unclear why he allegedly started the blaze.

Griffith, a 19-year veteran, was charged with reckless endangerment and arson, then released without bail.
