A 51-year-old woman is facing an arson charge in connection with a suspicious fire at a north London home nearly two months ago, London police said Wednesday.
Crews responded to a fire at a home at 12 Tallwood Circle, just northeast of the intersection of Richmond Street and Windermere Road, around 9:45 p.m. on March 18.

Firefighters managed to douse the flames, and a female occupant of the home was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.
Police at the time said they believed the fire to be suspicious in nature, and a subsequent investigation led officers to charge a 51-year-old London woman with one count of arson related to a fire or explosion causing property damage.
