Investigators say a fire that destroyed a dormitory at a popular Wisconsin resort and caused $5 million in damage was intentionally set.
The Capital Times reports that the Jan. 25 fire destroyed the Wilderness Resort dormitory that was under construction in the Wisconsin Dells. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms has determined that the fire is a case of arson.
The Wisconsin Arson Insurance Council is offering $10,000 for information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of those involved.
The dorm was being built to house foreign students enrolled in the J-1 visa program. More than 3,000 such students have worked in the Dells area in recent years.
Delton Fire Chief Darren Jorgenson says the main hotel was unaffected by the fire and is still open.
