Overnight fire at Woodville playground
09/02/2012 4:15 PM by John M
Richmond firefighters arrived around 4 a.m. today at Woodville Elementary School, in the 2000 block of North 28th Street and found one of the school’s playground’s in flames. […] It will not be known until mid-week, at the earliest, if the entire playground equipment will need to be replaced.
The playground at George Mason Elementary School burned in June of 2009. W.E. Singleton, a retired real estate investor and local philanthropist, helped cover the cost of the replacement.
Later editions of the story also mentioned a third fire in the area – 2010 Fairfield Court fire. It sounds like that one was caused by kids playing with fire. It’s kind of scary how flammable these new playgrounds are.
