SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The owner of a Sioux Falls home says a young girl playing with a lighter inside a closet started a fire at the property on Sunday.
Barbara Horton of Dell Rapids owns the house. Horton told the Argus Leader (https://argusne.ws/1fSFvyb ) that the girl has admitted what she did.
Capt. Nick Luther with the city’s fire department says smoke was coming from the second floor window when firefighters arrived at the scene around 10:40 a.m.
Luther says the fire did not spread beyond the closet and the damage was minimal. The fire was extinguished in 10 minutes.
