Boy Burned In Fire He Set

Columbus fire officials say a 12-year-old boy was critically burned in a house fire he started last night. Fire officials say the unnamed boy is being treated at a local hospital for third degree burns over 50 percent of his body. The fire caused 10-thousand dollars worth of damage to the home in the 32 hundred block of Banting Street near Sawmill Road.
