$10,000 reward to catch arsonist

There’s a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the arsonist believed to have started some of southeast Georgia’s wildfires. The Macon Telegraph reports that the state is offering the reward. A wildfire in Ware County has engulfed 100,000 acres over the past two and a half weeks. It’s cost millions to fight the blaze, and will hit the region’s tree farming economy. An arson team from the state insurance commission will work with local fire authorities to investigate possible arson. Confidential tips can be called in to 1-800-282-5804.
