Truckee Police have arrested a woman in connection to the Butterfield Fire. 

The woman, who's name is not being released due to the ongoing investigation, was taken into custody after evidence was obtained indicating she was responsible for setting several spot fires in the area. 

Police say she later admitted to investigators of having set the fires intentionally.

The Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District says the Butterfield Fire started near Butterfield Drive after 11:30 a.m. on Thursday. 

Smoke could be seen across much of that valley throughout Thursday afternoon and evacuations were ordered for businesses in the area, but have since been lifted. 

The Northstar Fire Department says the fire is no threat to the Northstar community.

There's also no immediate word on how the 10+ acre fire started. 

CAL FIRE and the Nevada County Sheriff's Office both responded to the scene and fire crews are staying at the fire overnight into Friday.
