"ARSON Squad detectives have charged a 15-year-old boy who allegedly lit a series of scrub fires in the Canning Vale area over the weekend. The Department of Fire and Emergency Services was called to a small scrub fire on Admiralty Road Reserve last night at 9.35pm. Fire fighters put out the fire, which burnt through about five square metres of native bush. A male teenager was seen running from the scene and was detained by a member of the public until police arrived. Detectives from Strike Force Vulcan charged the boy with six counts of lighting or attempting to light a fire likely to injure or cause damage. Police allege he also lit a number of other fires in the Canning Vale area starting on Friday. He will appear before the Armadale Children&rsquo;s Court today. Investigations are ongoing."
