SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Idaho police arrested three teenagers on Wednesday and were seeking a fourth on suspicion the group set a fire that destroyed the home of a high school principal and could have killed the educator and his wife, authorities said.

The principal had suspended two of the students just days before the blaze in Payette, said the town's police chief.

Mark Heleker, principal of the 430-student high school in the small southwest Idaho community, said he and his wife were awakened during the fire by their adult daughter at about 1 a.m. on Feb. 22 after she returned from walking her dog and saw flames shooting from the home's attached garage.

The trio and their pets escaped unharmed from the two-story house before it was engulfed, as their cars, furniture and other belongings were destroyed, he said.

4. Did the school board insist on the principle's resignation?

It would seem that if the principle was in bed, he was probably nude or nude under his bed attire.
