Arson arrest following Cambridge house fire

The Ontario Fire Marshall's Office is involved in an arson investigation in Cambridge.

A Cambridge woman has been charged with setting a house fire that sent one person to hospital.

Waterloo Regional Police said first responders were called to Adam Street and Queen Street around 2 a.m. Saturday.

The Cambridge Fire Department managed to put out the flames but not before they caused significant damage to the home.

“One occupant was transported to a local hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation as a result of the incident,” a media release said.

Police charged a 38-year-old woman with arson with a disregard for human life.

On Sunday, police and the Ontario Fire Marshall’s Office were seen at the home.

No further details were shared about the investigation.
