Five knuckleheads have been arrested after they threw two 40 ounce bottles filled with gasoline into a house — one of the bottles went into a room where a 7-month-old and a 2-year-old were sleeping. Fortunately nobody was injured.

Dennis Edwards stood in the ashes of his home yesterday, thinking of everything he had lost and how close the small children under his roof had come to dying in the early morning firebombing that destroyed 50 Hiramar Road.

Edwards’s 4-year-old son and his girlfriend Michaela Salvodori’s two daughters — ages 2½ years and 7 months — were asleep in a bedroom when a Molotov cocktail crashed through the window and set the curtains and bed linens ablaze.

A friend, Donyel Carey, was watching a movie with her own baby on her chest when she heard the glass shatter.

She screamed and grabbed two children in addition to her own, while Edwards, 32, rescued the 7-month-old, Edwards said.

Salvodori said a tent canopy that formed the “roof” of the 4-year-old’s car-shaped bed was on fire.
