WATERBORO — A woman who reported a fire in her home in August 2013 is now charged with starting it herself.

A York County grand jury on Tuesday handed up two indictments against Jennifer Green, 44, of 75 Sand Crossing Road, for arson and filing a false report.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but is a formal charge.

Green fled her burning home through a bedroom window on Aug. 20 last year and was taken to what is now the Biddeford Medical Center of Southern Maine Health Care for treatment of smoke inhalation.

The fire, which is believed to have started in the bedroom, was investigated by the State Fire Marshal’s Office, which was contacted by the York County Sheriff’s Office, whose deputies were at the scene that day. A spokesman from the fire marshal’s office declined comment this morning.

Firefighters were called to the double-wide mobile home at 75 Sand Crossing Road at about 4:16 p.m. The fire was knocked down in less than an hour, and although the building is still standing, Fire Chief Matt Bors said the home is uninhabitable.

Firefighters from Waterboro, Alfred and Ross Corner Fire Company fought the blaze, and one firefighter was evaluated for injuries on the scene.

An arraignment date for Green has not been set. Arson is a Class A felony. The maximum prison term upon conviction is 30 years. Making a false report is a Class D misdemeanor, for which the maximum jail term is one year.
