COWPENS (AP) -- Three volunteer firefighters in South Carolina have been charged with setting a mobile home on fire last month.

Spartanburg County deputies told the Herald-Journal of Spartanburg that 21-year-old William Dustin Crisp and two 16-year-old men were arrested late Monday on second-degree arson charges.

The men are members of the Cowpens Fire Department. Fire Chief Jamie Caggiano called investigators are putting out a suspicious fire in an abandoned mobile home on March 20.

Caggiano says his firefighters told him they made a stupid, childish decision.

It wasn't immediately clear if Crisp had an attorney.
