A man is facing charges after a fire left a woman seriously burned in Concord. Dwyane Crawford, 37, of Concord, was charged with arson, attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, reckless conduct and criminal mischief. Fire officials responded to the Woodbine Avenue home around 2:45 a.m. on Thursday and saw smoke coming from a second-floor window. Emergency crews found Crawford's twin sister, Takima Crawford, laying in a snow bank with visible burns when they arrived at the home, officials said. According to court documents, Crawford told police he deliberately lit his twin sister on fire. Takima told her two sons that Crawford poured gasoline on her before setting the blaze, police said. Takima suffered third-degree burn injuries to her upper body, according to court documents. She was transported to Concord Hospital and then transferred to a hospital in Boston for treatment, police said. A judge ordered Crawford be held without bail before an arraignment on Friday. The incident remains under investigation, police said.
