An 11-year-old boy has been accused of setting three fires within two weeks at his home in Keizer.

The Statesman Journal reports police took the boy to juvenile detention Monday on arson charges after the third fire caused minor damage. The two earlier fires caused about $80,000 damage.

Fire department spokesman Jim Trett says by the time of the third blaze, firefighters had memorized the address.
