Arson arrests in southeast Georgia

There have been arrests of two juveniles for arson, connected to fires in the southeast Georgia area. A 16-year-old boy was charged with setting a brush fire near Jesup. Another boy, 12-years-old, is facing charges of starting a blaze near Waycross. Both fires were quickly put out and burned less than an acre each.

Governor Sonny Perdue's office says all arson fires have been contained. A special arson investigation task force is still following many leads. Investigators are still in search of a truck driven by an arson witness.
