Authorities arrested a woman they believe set a south Fulton County home on fire while four people were inside, Atlanta fire officials said.

Chranda Norman, 40, was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with first degree arson, aggravated assault and first degree criminal damage to property, Channel 2 Action News reported. The fire occurred at the intersection of Cascade Avenue and Rodgers Avenue.

The suspect was still at the crime scene and identified by witness as the alleged arsonist, Atlanta fire Sgt. Cortez Stafford told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Stafford said he is not sure why the woman set the home on fire.

The victims sustained minor injuries, but no one was taken to the hospital, Stafford said.
