On June 5, 2013, Bloodvein RCMP and local emergency services were dispatched to the scene of a residential fire on Bloodvein First Nation. Firefighters were unable to save the two-storey structure. There was no one in the residence at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. RCMP investigators have arrested two female youths, age 12 and 14, who reside in the community. They are both facing charges of arson.

A Manitoba girl arrested by RCMP for intentionally torching a family?s home on the Bloodvein First Nation last week laughed about the fire and hinted she may burn down others, prosecutors say.
The 12-year-old?s display of levity in an interview with police has prompted the Crown to seek a full assessment of her mental state before she applies for bail, court heard at a Monday court hearing in Winnipeg.
At the time of last Wednesday?s fire, the girl was out on bail accused in a separate April 10 blaze at another home, Judge Dale Schille was told.
The girl and a 14-year-old co-accused were arrested not long after a two-storey home in the remote community burned to the ground in what photos showed to be a dramatic blaze.
?What?s particularly concerning from the Crown?s point of view is that when she spoke with the police, she was laughing about the matter (and) making other comments about another house she was going to burn down as well,? Judge Dale Schille was told.
A family of seven lived at the home. It was unoccupied at the time of the blaze. There were no injuries.
Schille approved the Crown request for the girl to undergo a psychological assessment.
Arsons in Bloodvein have been ?out of control,? for some time now justice officials have previously said. Boredom among the community?s youth is cited as a major contributing factor.
Last week?s fire at the Johnson home was the sixth confirmed arson case in the community of 1,000 so far in 2013.
