A 51-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of arson Tuesday after a fire at an Omaha home near 166th and Pacific Streets.Â
Omaha firefighters were called to a house at 1212 S. 166th St. at 10:20 a.m. and found fires in multiple locations. The fires were quickly put out, according to an Omaha Fire Department spokesman.Â
Investigators determined that the fires had been intentionally set by a female occupant of the home who had left the scene. Police were able to locate and arrest the woman, whose name was not released.Â
There were no injuries, but two occupants were forced to seek alternative housing until repairs are made. The home, valued at $247,000, sustained an estimated $45,000 worth of damage. An estimated $55,000 in damage occurred to the contents of the home.Â
