An Augusta woman has been charged after her house caught fire while her three young children were home alone. The oldest child, 10, told firefighters and police he was asleep on the couch of the home on North Carolina Avenue when he woke to smoke around 11 p.m. He woke his siblings, ages 3 and 4, and got them out of the house. When firefighters arrived, the children were already outside and heavy fire was coming from the home.
