ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Office are seeking the public's assistance in tracking down a woman who they believe is responsible for a mobile home fire that severely burned a child's hands. 

Officials with Orange County Fire Rescue responded to the 1800 block of East Orlando Road on what was initially reported as an SUV fire on Oct. 31. The fire then spread to a nearby 1,200-foot trailer, firefighters said.
