Firefighters facing arson charges

Two men are facing arson charges in Nicholas County for their alleged roles in a series of fires near Mount Lookout.
State Police say those fires happened between December 2011 and early 2012.  Those fires were set to structures and to brush.
Troopers say Charles Fillmore Barnett and his son, Charles Lindell Barnett, were arrested earlier this week and could face more charges.  Additional arrests could also be made.
Both have worked with the Wilderness Volunteer Fire Department.
