TRIBECA, Manhattan (WABC) — The FDNY is investigating what appear to be unfounded reports of Molotov cocktails in a Tribeca apartment after a fire on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The fire broke out inside 14 Murray Street shortly before 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

It all started when an emotionally disturbed woman called 911 to report a burglary at her apartment. She claimed someone broke in and set her apartment on fire with Molotov cocktails.<\/p>\n

However officials say it turns out she started a small fire in her apartment that was quickly extinguished.<\/p>\n

She is being taken to the hospital for an evaluation<\/p>\n

Although she reported Molotov cocktails in her apartment, when investigators arrived, they only found a bottle of mouthwash.<\/p>\n
