Palm Beach County Fire Rescue said an overnight fire, which was deliberately set, displaced four people near Palm Beach Gardens. 

29-year-old Judith Juste is under arrest and faces a charge of first-degree arson.

Capt. Albert Borroto said at 4:27 a.m. crews responded to the fire in the 3900 block of Chapel St. and found smoke coming from the front and back of a duplex. 

Firefighters entered the home and were able to bring it under control.

The Red Cross is assisting the four people affected by the fire which caused $60,000 damage.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said they responded to a domestic dispute at the duplex where the fire happened. They believe both are related.
