BATON ROUGE, La. - A 24-year-old volunteer firefighter faces a charge of arson.

State Fire Marshal Butch Browning said Tuesday that Adam Paul Carriere, of the West Feliciana Fire District, was arrested for starting two fires.

Browning says the charges stemmed from fires in the Tunica community on Friday night. West Feliciana Fire District, along with assistance from firefighters from Angola, fought the blazes, which were in vacant buildings.

Firefighters concluded that both fires were intentionally set.

Browning says the investigation led to Carriere, who had just joined the West Feliciana unit three days earlier.
