Neighbors and officials described the blaze as arson with suspected gasoline in the kitchen and den. Authorities treat the case as a professional, targeted attack. The executive and his wife Audry, two daughters, and visiting relatives escaped unharmed. Local leaders offered support as arson investigators search for suspects.
