Afire in Wonewoc that destroyed a home near downtown was allegedly the result of arson and set by a juvenile, police say. According to Wonewoc Police Chief Mike Stahlke, the Wonewoc Fire Department was called to a house fire at 206 S. East St. in Wonewoc at about 8:30 p.m. Dec. 16. “First responders observed the house fully engulfed along with a separate smaller fire in a detached garage,” Stahlke said in a press release. “The house was abandoned and did not have utilities hooked up which initiated an investigation for arson.” During the course of the investigation police identified and interviewed a juvenile they suspected was responsible for the fire. The juvenile was referred to the Juneau County District Attorney and Juneau County Department of Human Services for charges.
