Investigators in Coleman say a child playing with a cigarette lighter started a fire that forced 50 people out of their apartment homes.

Authorities say the fire started on the third floor when the child caught the curtains on fire.

Four people needed medical attention.

Some residents were allowed to go back in Sunday to get prescription medicine and a few essential belongings.
