A fireball had turned the night sky over the Roosevelt Mall an ominous shade of orange. On the ground, a figure emerged from a wall of flames and staggered across the mall’s asphalt parking lot toward Caseem Wongus. As the shape drew closer, Wongus realized it was a young boy — whose back was on fire. Other bystanders held up their phones and recorded; Wongus yanked off his black denim jacket, wrapped it around the boy’s shoulders, and tamped out the flames.
