Woman charged after arson on Mayfair

Police were called to an apartment building to respond to a fight and a fire in a suite on Friday morning.

On Saturday, Winnipeg police said a resident at 1-99 block of Mayfair Place pulled a fire alarm shortly before 6 a.m., after a mattress was set ablaze.

Police said the fire was deliberately set “following a dispute with family members,” and that there were no major injuries from the incident.

Residents of the building were required to evacuate due to the fire.

A 31-year-old woman was arrested and faces charges related to the fire. She was released and is to appear in court at a later date.
