Three Teens Charged with Starting Fire

According to the Huntingdon County District Attorney’s office, three teen boys have been charged for setting a fire at the Blair House apartment complex last Friday. Authorities say the three area juveniles, two 14-year-olds and one 15-year-old, face felony charges of arson, burglary, and conspiracy, as well as five counts of reckless endangerment after five firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion while fighting the flames. Police say the teens had used a lighter and household chemicals to set fire to stuffed animals and furniture left inside the building.
