Boulder County man arrested for setting own house on fire with residents inside

A man has been arrested for intentionally setting his house on fire with multiple residents inside, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.

Deputies said Fredrick Faerron-Crocket, 52, started the fire inside of the house after getting into a fight with one of the other residents.

The fire was reported Tuesday just after midnight. A resident called 911 and said the house was filling with smoke in the 1300 block of Tipperary Street in unincorporated Boulder County.

All residents and pets evacuated the home without injury. However, the house suffered significant damage as the fire spread into the walls, upper level and attic. Officials said the house “wasn’t a total loss.”

Faerron-Crocket was booked into the Boulder County Jail and charged with first-degree arson, second-degree arson, felony menacing and felony criminal mischief.

The sheriff’s office is still investigating the fire.

Boulder County deputies and firefighters from the Louisville Fire Protection District, Lafayette Fire Department and Mountain View Fire Rescue responded to the fire. The American Red Cross is providing the victims with hotel lodging.
