A 29-year-old West Bend woman faces multiple charges for allegedly setting a fire at her mother's apartment building in Waukesha.

The accused is Alexandra Steinmetz – and she faces the following criminal counts: According to the criminal complaint, firefighters were dispatched to a structure fire on W. St. Paul Avenue near Fairview Avenue in Waukesha on Oct. 7, 2021. Multiple people who lived in the apartment building evacuated before firefighters arrived on the scene.

The next day, on Friday, Oct. 8, detectives met "in regards to approximately seventeen fires that had been set in the Children's Hospital parking lot" in Wauwatosa on Oct. 7 -- the same day as the Waukesha fire. Surveillance cameras "recorded a vehicle being driven by a woman, as being the individual who was setting these fires," the complaint says. A check on the license registration shows it was registered to the defendant, Alexandra Steinmetz and her mother.
