A Salem woman convicted of aggravated arson in connection with a May 2024 apartment fire that injured a firefighter and a resident has learned her fate on Friday.

Investigators accused Craig of setting fire to an apartment building on East 6th Street in Salem on May 2, 2024. The indictment in the case stated that 12 lives were put at risk, including those of two first responders.

One firefighter required hospital treatment for a knee injury, and an apartment resident suffered minor burns as a result of the blaze.

Craig's attorney told Judge Washam that she will be appealing her conviction.
