Teens Charged Over Windale Fire

Two teenagers have been charged after allegedly lighting a fire in bushland at Windale near Lake Macquarie.

Emergency Services attended Banglay Reserve on Wednesday afternoon, discovering the fire well alight.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested at Belmont Police Station yesterday, and a 13-year-old was arrested today, for intentionally causing fire and being reckless as to its spread.

Both were granted strict bail conditions and will appear in the Children's Court later this month.
