Modus Operandi

Mason copied Brooks' M.O. when starting fires and even picked some of the same addresses. However, she would also set up tripwire traps consisting of balloons filled with triethylaluminium that were stacked on an improvised shelf that would break when firemen broke the tripwire and cause an explosion that would kill the firemen.

Known Victims

• Captain Curtis Smith (killed with a tripwire fire trap)
• The fire at 152 8th Street in Brooklyn (no fatalities; the fire trap wasn't triggered)
• Leonard Brooks (attempted to kill; held at gunpoint and tried to kill in a gas explosion)
