Arson charges filed after Vinita senior citizen apartment fire

A man from Vinita, Oklahoma, is facing first-degree arson charges after a fire at an apartment complex Friday.

68-year-old Roger Lee Woolman was taken into custody for allegedly purposefully starting a fire on the third floor of the Burroughs Manor Apartments just after noon.

It took crews around three hours to get the blaze under control.

A few residents were treated for smoke inhalation and four firefighters were checked for heat exhaustion but no one suffered major injuries.
