State Fire Marshal Ray Reynolds says 19-year-old Brett Graham of Kelley has admitted to starting four fires in Story and Boone Counties over the past few months. One includes a fire in Boone County that killed a dozen horses in late January.
Graham was arrested Thursday and faces three counts of second-degree arson. He remains in the Story County Jail on a $30,000 bond.
Reynolds says the fires are part of 20 to 30 fires that authorities have been investigating as possible arson.
Graham is a volunteer firefighter with the Kelley Fire Department. His father is the department's assistant fire chief.
