A toddler, Nathan John, has set fire to two homes within two days. Nathan, aged 22 months, set fire first to his parents’ home in Milford Haven after playing with matches. Damage was estimated at $25,530. The family moved nearby to his grandparents’ home for temporary refuge, and Nathan set his cuddly toys on fire in his granny’s bedroom. He was saved by firemen, but the bedroom was gutted. Nathan’s shocked mother said he would never get hold of another box of matches.
