13-year-old has been accused of arson after fire crews responded to a small grass fire at an apartment complex in Fayetteville Saturday.

The juvenile was playing with matches that started the fire near the 1400 building of Cobblestone Apartments, according to a report filed by the Fayetteville Police Department. The Fire Department responded, but the blaze had already been extinguished by the time crews arrived, said Fayetteville Fire Chief Alan Jones.

The Police Department is conducting the investigation of the incident, Jones added.
