A Clark County Grand Jury will decide if the man accused by police of starting a fire that killed three people, including his son, will be formally charged.
The judge left the bond at one million dollars for Jack Hisle. Hisle is accused of starting a fire that killed three and injured six others.
He will remain in jail until a grand jury decides if he is in fact the person responsible for starting a fire that devastated many lives.

Sgt. Tom Beall, a detective with the Winchester Police Department, told the court that Hisle claimed the fire was an accident. Beall says Hisle told police he tried to smother the fire with a pillow but failed.
Police and fire investigators had suspected the fire was started by an oxygen tank owned by Hisle.
“So I asked him about smoking with the oxygen tube on, he said he was,” said Beall. “I also asked him about signs on the machine, he said, ‘yes there were signs,’ and when they brought the machine to him, they told him to not be smoking around the oxygen, I asked him why and he said, ‘it catch fire.’”
The Clark County attorney told LEX 18 that there is no set date for when the Grand Jury will meet.
