Officials arrested the woman, identified as Roconda Singleton, 46, on multiple charges in connection with the fire. A 12-year-old child was in critical condition at a hospital following the fire but two other children, ages 10 and 7, were treated and released over the weekend, according to authorities.

Kent County Prosecutor's Office announced a new charge against the woman who told police she'd intentionally set the fire that killed her daughter and sent her other 2 children to the hospital.
