A former volunteer firefighter in Mulvane has been charged with one count of arson in connection to a fire at his parents' home back in October.

Phillips allegedly set fire to his parents home on Miller Street on a Sunday morning before they went to church. Investigators say the fire started in the basement and quickly spread to the roof vents and chimney.
