Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler begins his first surgery after being set on fire, according to a statement from his wife.

A Danville City Councilman was injured Wednesday morning after being set on fire in an assault outside his workplace, according to the Danville Police Department.

A Danville City Council member was doused in gasoline and set on fire in what appeared to be a personal feud, the Danville Police Department said. Police said the two men knew each other and it appeared the attack stemmed from a personal matter and was not politically motivated.
