A woman was arrested in connection with multiple brush fires that burned near the University of Portland campus Wednesday morning.
At around 10:20 a.m., Portland Fire & Rescue crews responded to the area of North Willamette and North Harvard.
Crews arrived to the scene and found four separate brush fires on the bluff below the campus.
All fires were quickly extinguished, and no injuries were reported. Firefighters also said the fires were controlled before they could threaten the university or nearby homes.
PF&R said witnesses seeing someone walking down a trail and lighting brush and trees on fire with a butane lighter.
A witness at the scene was able to point out the suspect to police. A woman was taken into custody in connection with the investigation.
A PF&R spokesman said Adrianne Esther Clark, 38, was subsequently arrested on four counts of reckless burning.
