Lamont was renting a Frenchtown trailer that caught on fire last week.
Investigators tell us they believe the 29-year-old, who lived there with her three children, started the fire.
She's being charged with arson and animal cruelty since her three pets died in the fire.
Detective Jason Johnson of the Missoula County Sheriff's Office said, "Ultimately she talked about throwing a newspaper at a lit candle and that maybe that's what caused it. So she never fully came out and confessed to it."
In June 2012 Lamont was charged with cruelty to animals in Great Falls after reportedly leaving her five horses without food at a local stable for long periods of time.
The horses resorted to eating parts of the stable.
Her father was charged with animal cruelty just two years prior to that incident.
Missoula investigators also say that Lamont's Great Falls home caught on fire in June and they believe she's doing this for attention and community sympathy.
Lamont's three children are in the custody of Child & Family Services.
