CHARLOTTE, N.C. - North Carolina fire officials have charged a woman with arson in an apartment building fire that was one of at least seven blazes over the weekend.

The Charlotte Fire Department said in a news release that 27-year-old Shayla Davis was charged with arson in connection with the fire Sunday that caused $250,000 in damage. No one was injured.

Davis was being held in the Mecklenburg County jail. Jail records did not indicate whether she has an attorney.

It was one of several fires in Charlotte this weekend that included one fatality.

Officials have not released the name of the 58-year-old woman who died after being pulled from a burning two-story duplex early Saturday.

Investigators say that fire appears to be accidental and caused $200,000 in damage.
