OAK HARBOR, Ohio — A reward of $5,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for an arson fire that destroyed a Carroll Township home.

Early in the morning of July 12, the Carroll Township Fire Department and other area agencies responded to 6636 N. Parkway Rd. to investigate a report of a house fire. Crews found the structure engulfed in flames. The house was vacant at the time and was a total loss. No one was injured.
