No one was hurt, but two pet turtles died in the fire.

Police arrested Travis Davis on Aug. 8 and charged him with arson. He’s accused of setting fire to his own home.

Gilead Fire Chief Randall Grondin said Davis has been placed on administrative leave. He had been with the department for about two years.
