EAGLE GROVE, Iowa – A Sioux City man accused of setting a house on fire in Wright County will stand trial in January.

21-year-old Luis Antonio Huerta-Valadez is charged with 1st degree arson and is being held on $100,000 bond. The Eagle Grove Police Department says he intentionally set fire to a house in the 1000 block of South Commercial Avenue.

Firefighters responded to the blaze around 1:12 AM Tuesday, August 9. When police arrived, they helped people inside the home as they jumped from second story windows. 11 people, including two police officers and one firefighter, were transported to surrounding hospitals for treatment of injuries ranging from smoke inhalation to severe burns.

The Eagle Grove Police Department and the State Fire Marshal’s Office are investigated the incident. The Goldfield Fire Department helped at the scene, as well.

A jury trial has been scheduled for January 10, 2017, after Huerta-Valdez entered a not-guilty plea last month.
