Fire officials say another child playing with matches or a lighter caused the flames to break out Thursday afternoon on the first floor of an apartment building on Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

The four-month-old girl, who sources identified as Aniyah Vaughan, was taken to Cornell Hospital, where she later died.

A neighbor told NY1 that more than 90-percent of the infant's body was burned.

Officials said the home had a smoke detector, but it was not working.

"On arrival we had heavy fire conditions in the rear. There's two rooms in the rear and apparently the fire was started on the left room and came down the hall. We found the victim in the right-hand room in a bed along the wall which was blocking the doorway," said New York City Fire Department Deputy Chief Vincent Mandela. "It was a tremendous push to get in there. We had our guys enter, and the engines and the trucks who do the searches. We went in through the front of the building, we tried to make our way, but there was heavy heat, heavy smoke and fire, which thwarted their attempts."

More than 70 firefighters battled the fire.
