WALL

A 10-day-old baby survived a tragedy Thursday after a woman started a one alarm fire by spraying insecticide from an aerosol can which caused a wall to collapse on the newborn's crib, officials said.

Arnetta Sands, 36, of the 200 block of North Aisquith Street, was spraying an aerosol can by her nearby stove when it caused a combustion and ignited a fire. The fire caused the wall between her apartment and the neighbors to collapse from the explosion and land on the baby, Andre Henderson, in his crib.

The incident occurred shortly after midnight while the baby was already sleeping. Firefighters soon removed the portion of the wall off of the crib, fire investigators said.

The fire was said to be accidental, police said. Sands suffered first degree burns on her body and was treated and released from Hopkins.
