Clothes set on fire

UPDATE 1:30 p.m.

Kelowna RCMP say a 33-year-old West Kelowna woman is in custody in connection with this morning's fire at a home on Webber Road in Glenrosa.

Police say the woman was arrested and faces potential charges after neighbours followed the woman from the scene. However, they are not saying what those charges could be.

The house sustained more than $100,000 in damage as a result of the fire.

Fire officials say it is not known if the occupants were insured.

UPDATE: 1 p.m.

“Witnesses on scene reported seeing a female lighting something in the backyard and departing on foot,” said Const. Kent Hall.

The woman was arrested and police said the investigation is in the preliminary stages.

“Looks like it started on the back ... side of the house and extended up into the attic space," said assistant fire chief Brent Watson.
