Natan Khaimov, 22, and Robert Khaimov, 28, both of Flushing, were charged with arson for setting a fire at the Uber Café on Depot Road in the early morning hours of Sept. 9. They will be arraigned Friday at First District Court in Central Islip.

Homicide and Arson Squad detectives investigated are after a firefighter died at the scene.

Holst was found to have died of natural causes.
