A woman from Sheffield has been charged with arson following a deliberately lit fire at Red Hills earlier this week.
Emergency services were called to a Montana Road address around 10:30am on Monday after reports a house was on fire.

Firefighters managed to contain the blaze, but the house sustained significant damage.
A fire investigator determined the blaze was deliberately lit and the case was handed over to Launceston CIB.
The 68-year-old woman has since been charged with arson.
She has been bailed to appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court at a later date.
