BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Authorities have arrested a woman following an investigation of a 1-square-mile (2.5-square-kilometers) fire in southwestern Idaho officials say was intentionally set.
Thirty-seven-year-old Sara D. Schaeffer was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of felony third-degree arson in connection with the fire near Lucky Peak Reservoir on Sunday.
Boise County Sheriff James Kaczmarek says Schaeffer is a transient but had recently been living in Boise.
The fire burned on public and private lands and for a while shut down Idaho State Highway 21.
It's not clear from online court records if Shaeffer has an attorney.
