A 40-year-old woman has been charged with arson after police allege she set a fire in a Winnipeg apartment building that caused an estimated $1 million in damage. Winnipeg police said crews were called around 9:20 a.m. Thursday to the three-storey Alma Apartments complex at 269 Young St., just south of Portage Avenue. No tenants were reported injured, but damage to the building was estimated at $1 million. Police said officers responding to a well-being call spotted the fire and helped evacuate tenants from the building. The city said one firefighter was injured and treated at the scene. Two cats were found dead inside. Winnipeg Police Service major crimes unit investigators determined that a tenant set a fire in a suite, barricaded the door, and then escaped through a window. Police later arrested a suspect at a home on Selkirk Avenue, between McGregor and Parr streets, in the city’s North End. The woman has been charged with arson with disregard for human life and arson causing damage to property, and was detained in custody. Police said their investigation is continuing.
