@Puzzle Piece This was just posted. I do not know the lady. This may answer your question. If it is true, OMG!

Edited to add: Having difficulty verifying if this is truth or gossip. This is the only reference to an arrest. There are so few people who are posting, I cannot find confirmation. I will be skeptical until I see it repeated from other sources.

Their arrest will hopefully get them seriously fined and some jail time.  Jail time even if they are minors.  

Folks could or are losing their homes and posessions.  Not at all excusable.

@On It  So glad you are safe.  Unbelievable that kids started the fire!  Just horrible!  Horrible!

@LdyBugz @Puzzle Piece I am trying to verify who she is. Hers is the only post. We are checking. It could be true or it could be gossip.

I just saw an update. 800+ firefighters are currently fighting the fires including 13 Hotshot teams. The Salt Fire is threatening the village of Ruidoso Downs, and it has been placed on GO status. The South Fork fire is involved in Ruidoso. Together they are 20,000 acres.

The hospital and a nursing home were successfully evacuated.

@On It I am so sorry to hear of this terrible fire.

Thank God you were able to safely evacuate; I will pray for you and for those who are in imminent danger. 

May the fire be put out as quickly as possible and may humans and wildlife be safe.
