A 63-year-old woman was arrested for arson after she allegedly set her DeLand home on fire.
On Friday, April 21, multiple units from the DeLand Fire Department and officers from DeLand Police Department responded to 517 E. Walts Avenue in response to a structure fire.
Upon arrival, crews found a single-family home fully engulfed in flames. Eight DFD units comprised of 24 emergency personnel were able to knock the fire down.
