An eight-year-old boy has been charged with deliberately setting a fire at a Harford County playground.
The state fire marshal's office say the child ignited paper and mulch underneath playground equipment Wednesday at North Deen park.
The Aberdeen fire department quickly put the blaze out and investigators got a tip about the young suspect.
Fire officials report only minimal damage at the city-owned park at 300 Center Dean Avenue. They put the damage estimate at $500.
