VIDEO: Two teens were arrested on charges of endangerment and arson of an occupied structure after a Gilbert family's garage was set on fire Wednesday night, according to Gilbert Police. At about 10 p.m. Wednesday, Gilbert Fire was alerted to a family barn on fire near Higley and Guadalupe roads. When firefighters got to the scene they found a large, detached building engulfed in flames. The fire was put out a short time later and no injuries were reported, according to Gilbert Fire officials. Jeni Jones was inside her home when she saw the family garage, which is detached from her home, had started to catch on fire. Just minutes earlier, her teenage daughter had been hanging out in the second floor of the structure with a group of friends. "They were back in the loft at 9:48," Jones said. "I called 9-1-1 at 9:52. So they barely got out."
