A man from Wisconsin faces accusations of setting his neighbor’s house on fire during Thanksgiving Day, rendering it unlivable.

The Vernon County Sheriff’s Office reported that 67-year-old Ora Wallace has been arrested on suspicion of arson. The office stated that Vernon County District Attorney Angela Palmer-Fisher will evaluate the possibility of pressing formal charges, as noted in their press release.

The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, when a mobile home fire was reported on County Road SS in Liberty to the sheriff’s office’s 911 dispatch center. Deputies, along with the Viroqua Police Department, and four firefighting and rescue teams attended the scene.

No one was inside the house at the time, as the residents were reportedly “in the process of moving out” and were not present during the fire, according to the sheriff’s office. The fire crews managed to extinguish the blaze, but the home was deemed “a total loss.”

Images of the property revealed severely damaged walls and blackened support beams.

Investigators determined “quickly” that the fire “was set intentionally,” according to law enforcement. Investigators identified Wallace as their suspect, pointing out that he lived across the road from the home that had been set ablaze.

The defendant was then arrested and placed in the county jail.

All of the firefighters and law enforcement officers left the scene by 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving.

“I am extremely grateful that no one was hurt,” Sheriff Roy Torgerson said. “Although this should never have happened, I would like to thank everyone who responded. I appreciate our Sheriff’s Office team and all emergency services, many of which are staffed entirely by volunteers.”

“When you should have been enjoying Thanksgiving Day with your families, you answered the call to serve our community without any reservation,” the sheriff added.

Wallace is expected to appear in Vernon County Circuit Court on Monday.

Authorities have not revealed what they believe his possible motive may have been.
