A 64-year-old woman has been charged with intentionally setting two recent fires at an apartment building in south-end Halifax.

In a news release Wednesday, Halifax Regional Police said the fires happened March 10 and last Sunday at a building in the 5500 block of Victoria Road. Firefighters extinguished both blazes without anyone being injured.

Police said the first fire was immediately determined to have been set. The second fire initially appeared accidental but upon further investigation was deemed intentional.

A Halifax woman was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of arson. Police said she will appear in Halifax provincial court at a later date.

Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call police at 902-490-5016 or submit an anonymous tip to Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers.
