Wall

During a one-alarm fire a wall between two apartments fell on a 10-day-old baby's crib late Monday night during a fire in the southeast district 200 North Aisquith Street in the high rise projects.

The 10-day-old infant had possible smoke inhalation but is doing fine according to Hopkins where he was treated and released. Arnetta Sands, who allegedly started the fire, suffered from 1st degree burns on her back and arms.

Captain Thommen reported the fire happening when Ms. Sands accidently sprayed insecticide from an aerosol which ignited from her using the stove.

After the firefighters removed the wall off the baby's crib, the mother of the infant, Renee Henderson, was very grateful.
