A fire chief has warned parents to keep lighters away from children after a six-year-old boy set fire to a bedroom at his home in Fraser Street, Manningham, Bradford. Watch commander Steve Haley said the family had been lucky no-one was hurt. He said: “In this case there were various spots around the room where fires had been started. The boy was fine but petrified of us. We had a little chat with him, then fitted smoke detectors for the family.”
