Woman facing third arson charge after house fire in Moose Jaw

A 29-year-old woman has been charged of arson with disregard for human life following a house fire in Moose Jaw last month, and it’s not the only arson charge she’s facing.

The Moose Jaw Police Service said the woman was charged after a follow-up investigation into the fire on Simcoe Street on January 14. Nobody was injured in the fire, though the police service said the blaze left behind an estimated $100,000 in damages.
