Police charged a teen-age volunteer firefighter with setting one of the fires that have for months frightened Jefferson, N.H., residents, just one day after charging a former volunteer firefighter in the case. Lawrence Coulter Jr., 19, of Jefferson, was charged with setting a fire in nearby Dalton on Oct. 3 or 4, but authorities said at his arraignment in Lancaster, N.H., that he is a suspect in others. The arraignment came 24 hours after a former volunteer firefighter in Jefferson, a sparsely populated White Mountains town of 850 people struck by 21 arson fires since May, was arrested.
