Reward Offered For Arson In Big Sandy Region
KENTUCKY....
A reward is being offered as fire burns hundreds of acres in the Big Sandy region. As of Friday afternoon, firefighters had battled 10 fires in Pike, Floyd, Johnson, Martin, Magoffin, and Lawrence Counties, and rangers say nine are confirmed arson. Fire has burned nearly 100 acres near the Banner and Dana communities in Floyd County, and Rangers say dry leaves and wind are causing the fires to spread, but every time a fire is contained, an arsonist resets it. A one thousand dollar reward is being offered for information leading to arrests and charges. If you have any information on who started the fires, you can call the arson hotline at 1-800-27-ARSON. Burn bans are in place in all counties in the Big Sandy region.
