Attorney General Considers Charges In Dollar Store Fire

Two children were allegedly responsible for starting a fire inside a Dollar General store in North Providence on Monday.

North Prov Police Chief Alfredo Ruggiero says it was two sisters, age eight and nine, who were visiting relatives in town.

Ruggiero says the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office is reviewing the incident to see if charges will be filed.

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze inside the store on Smith Street, and no injuries were reported.
