Boy with lighter starts Sandy Springs apartment fire
No injuries were reported in a Thursday morning apartment fire that Sandy Springs authorities said was caused by a child playing with a lighter.
The blaze damaged one unit at the Harbor Pointe complex off Morgan Falls Road, according to Sandy Springs fire Deputy Chief Jeff Scarbrough.
A second apartment in the eight-unit building sustained water damage, Scarbrough said.
He said investigators had determined that a 6-year-old boy playing with a cigarette lighter started the fire.
