We're told the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
As TMZ first reported, Jennifer admitted on Thursday that one of her sons had a role in a fire that broke out in Ladera Ranch.
The 'RHOC' star wrote, "My ex-husband and myself take this very serious. This behavior is unacceptable and we are deeply sorry to our community. This is a tough learning moment for our son and our family."
She said she was thankful that nobody was hurt and no property was damaged ...and added there were no arrests, but "consequences for actions are being put in place."
Jennifer said her son would be enrolling in a fire safety course to make "sure a mistake like this never happens again."
Law enforcement sources told us minors setting fires that do not cause property damage aren't usually hit with criminal charges -- just the safety classes instead.
