Four juveniles have been arrested for starting fires on the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe Reservation in North Dakota.
The arrests came after a tribal-state-federal task force looked into 150 grass fires that had been set from January to April of this year. It was the first such effort on a North Dakota reservation.
The four teens are the only ones charged with the fires. No adults were arrested.
