A West Bath woman allegedly set fire to a barn that housed goats on her property earlier this month.

Grace Burnham, 38, has been charged with arson, failure to report or control a dangerous fire, and animal cruelty, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

The March 14 fire destroyed the barn, but no animals were harmed.

Burnham was arrested about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at her home in connection with the blaze, Moss said Thursday afternoon.

She was taken to Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset.
