Authorities suspect a Gretna woman who used gasoline to light a barbeque grill accidentally set her neighbor's house ablaze Saturday evening when the fuel can ignited, according to an arrest report.
No one was injured in the fire at a home in the 3000 block of Hero Drive, said Chief Michael Labruzza of the Davy Crockett Steam Fire Company No. 1. But resident Ruby Villacorta Romero, 33, was arrested and booked with negligent arson, Gretna police said.
Villacorta had planned to cook on an open grill that was set up under a carport at her residence, Gretna police said. The arrest report said she doused the grill with gasoline to help start the fire.
But when Villacorta tried to light the grill, a large flame erupted, igniting the full gas can that was on the ground next to the grill, the report said. Villacorta is accused of grabbing the gas can and tossing it away from the carport.
But she threw the flaming can toward her neighbor's residence, where it hit the side of the house, authorities said. The outside of the residence caught fire, melting the siding and causing moderate damage, according to Labruzza.
Firefighters responded and extinguished the blaze. Villacorta told authorities the fire spread to her neighbor's house after she tried to use water to put out the flames.
