The woman and young child suffered smoke inhalation from the fire yesterday that damaged their three-bedroom apartment at the public housing complex near Aloha Stadium. The mother also suffered burns to her arm. |

The fire was contained to an upstairs bedroom, Kane said. In addition to the woman and boy, another adult and a child, age 2, were in the unit, he said. |
