A woman from Selkirk is facing arson and animal endangerment charges after allegedly lighting her house on fire over the weekend.
Selkirk RCMP say they were called to a home on McLean Avenue in Selkirk shortly after 9 p.m. on Saturday.
The house was already engulfed in flames when officers arrived and the Selkirk Fire Department was working to extinguish the flames.
The owner of the home, a 37-year-old female was found outside. She had no injuries but was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The owner's pets, two dogs and three cats were left inside the home.
RCMP quickly learned that the woman had intentionally set the fire.
She was later arrested and charged with arson, injuring or endangering animals and causing animals unnecessary suffering.
The woman was remanded until a court date later this week.
The investigation is ongoing.
