ASH FORK, Ariz. (12 News) — A young firefighter is believed to be the serial arsonist who has been starting several fires over the last month in Yavapai & Coconino counties.
Karson Nutter, a firefighter with the Ash Fork Fire Department, has allegedly admitted to being responsible for at least 7 arson events since June 15.
Nutter, 18, allegedly admitted to being motivated by "boredom" to start some of the fires or because he was retaliating against a former employer.
The structures that were torched included the Mobile Station in Ash Fork, a county-owned cemetery in Ash Fork, 2 abandoned homes in Kaibab Estates West & land located along Forrest Service Road 124.
Nutter allegedly told investigators he would set fire to abandoned homes he found "ugly."
At least half of the fires occurred in Yavapai County & the others occurred in Coconino County.
Nutter was recently booked into jail & is facing charges of arson, criminal damage & false reporting to law enforcement. Ash Fork's fire department is volunteer-run, according to its Facebook page.
