A woman was arrested on suspicion of arson to an inhabited structure Friday in connection with a fire at an Antioch home related to a domestic dispute, authorities said.
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District crews responded to the 3900 block of Hummingbird Drive shortly after 11 a.m. on an initial report of a hazardous condition that was updated to a report of a female attempting to set the house on fire, according to the arson investigation report.
The crews encountered a fire in the rear of building and determined it was intentionally set, the report said. The crew quickly extinguished the fire.
The crews found that Antioch police had detained a woman living in the home who allegedly poured gasoline on the back patio as well as on the home's male occupant, according to the arson report. The man wasn't hurt.
