Something similar to this happened to the SAE house at my university back when I was still a student (wow... this was now 11 years ago). A guy was upset that his ex-girlfriend was now seeing an SAE and decided to get his revenge by setting fire to the SAE house. It was late at night and one person was sleeping on the upstairs (2nd story) floor inside the house at the time. Back then the SAE house was next door to Kappa Sigma. Two Kappa Sigs saw the smoke and ran over to see what was happening. When they knocked on the door they woke up the brother inside, who panicked and didn't know how to get out (the bottom floor of the house was ablaze).
These two guys (guys I knew actually... one was dating a girl at the same time I was seeing her, which is another story entirely) told the SAE to jump, which he finally did after some debating. He was okay, but the house was charred. It wouldn't be repaired for almost a year.
The SAEs knew who it was who set fire to the house but had no proof to go on. To this day I don't know if that guy was punished at all. Unfortunately both SAE and Kappa Sig were kicked off campus in the following year -- SAE after a rape incident at a party in Albuquerque, NM that they had driven 4 hours to attend and Kappa Sig by their nationals for excessive debt and other allegations -- so the whole thing just died.
That house is still there, but it's some kind of office now. We always wondered whatever happened to that guy who set the fire and wondered why he wasn't charged with arson.
