The house, in the 3300 block of McDougald Road in the Gillsville area, is a total loss, according to Hall County Fire Marshal Scott Cagle.
Cagle says Mike Ledford is charged with first-degree arson. He says Ledford called 911 about 3:00 Saturday morning, told the operator what he had done and was arrested at the scene of the fire.
Cagle says the 1,000-square-foot house is a total loss and that several fires had been set throughout the structure. He would not discuss a possible motive for Ledford's actions.
Cagle said Ledford's wife and two children were not at home at the time of the fire.
