A woman with the intention of burning her house

A woman with mental problems in a sixth floor, set fire yesterday night, to the sofa of her house - At the street San Raimundo of San Blas- and caused the alarm to the neighbourhood. The success took place past the 22 hours after the lady maintained a heated discussion with her sister, according to police sources information.

When receiving the warning of the fire, several agents of the Park of Firemen and patrols of the Local Police and the National Body of Police went to the place of the facts. Once there, up to four municipal agents had to calm the woman who had set fire to the sofa. This one, visibly nervous, put resistance and tried to obstruct the intervention of the police cash. Moments later the woman was introduced in a Samu and took her to the Hospital of San Juan, where she was entered in the Unit of Psychiatry, according to the same sources. Her sister, on the other hand, left the place by foot, according to one of the eyewitnesses of the event.

One of the neighbours of the zone that lived the whole scene, Beatriz Rodriguez, related that the discussions between the two sisters were "something enough frequent" and it noticed that the woman already had threatened the neighbours in several occasions. "Here, they are not very appreciated". "She spoke with bad forms and always said rough things to the people", she added. This resident even said that in an occasion one of the fights it ended with "stabs "He was always insulting", she confirmed. Another neighbour, who preferred to stay in the anonymity, reaffirmed the declarations of Beatriz, although she loaded directly against the social services. "It is incomprehensible that this person has not a social worker, having the antecedents that she has".

Hi Johanna,
just a few comments on your local news post. First, I introduced paragraphs to make the information more understandable.

In pink I selected expressions that can ba improved in English -they are too literal-.

Finally, the HEADLINE could be changed since no action verb appears and you can get no idea what the text is about. Something like WOMAN TRIES TO SET FIRE could be more meaningful.

Cheers,
