The state’s Insurance and Fire Safety Commissioner’s Office has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of an arsonist in DeKalb County.
A dozen fires broke-out over a recent 24-hour period in the county, along the Memorial Drive corridor. State officials said one of those fires was arson--a blaze that destroyed a building on the property of a church in the area. Other businesses damaged or destroyed have not yet been ruled arson, but officials believe that is a strong possibility. Three persons of interest were taken into custody Monday night, in connection with a stolen vehicle with a possible connection to the fires.
