A Kenai woman was arrested after police say she intentionally set fire to a home in Kenai.
The Kenai Police Department and Kenai Fire Department responded to a home on Haida Street Tuesday after reports of a house fire. With assistance from the Nikiski Fire Department and Central Emergency Services, the fire was extinguished, but the home received extensive smoke, fire and water damage. Nobody was inside the home at the time of the fire, but a housecat was found dead inside. Police say wooden matches were also found on the ground outside the residence.
Nearby security footage showed a female at the home shortly before the fire was reported. A police investigation determined 53-year-old Kimberly Rodgers of Kenai started the fire.
