Tammy C. Green, 44, was arrested by State Police following their investigation of a structure fire that occurred shortly after noon Thursday in the village of Castleton.
At approximately 12:41pm, the Rensselaer County 911 center received a call for a fully involved structure fire at 6 Green Ave, near the intersection of State Route 9J in Castleton. Several fire companies from southern Rensselaer County responded and assisted in fighting the fire.

Two fireman are being treated for injuries sustained while fighting the fire.
