Four of the six were interviewed the weekend of the fire and confessed to starting it using aerosol spray paint cans and a lighter.
The District Attorney's Office says the juveniles will be tried in Family Court, which means they won’t be sent to jail. They could be sent to a youth detention facility for up to a year and be subjected to electronic monitoring.
