Boy Injured After Setting House On Fire

An 8-year-old Columbus boy is in the hospital after setting a South Hamilton Road home on fire yesterday. Columbus firefighters say the child got inside the vacant house, found a pack of matches and lit fire to some trash. The boy is hospitalized in critical condition, while another child inside the home escaped unharmed.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
