Columbus Fire officials say a young boy may have sparked a fire at a northeast side home early this morning. No one was injured in the blaze in the 23-hundred block of Maple Hedge Way. Firefighters say a woman who lives in the home told them her 9-year-old mentally-challenged son started the fire while playing with sparklers in his room.
