According to officials, investigators with SFM determined the fires to be the result of arson.
Officials say given their close proximity to one another, the short time frame in which the most recent three fires have occurred, and other undisclosed similarities, investigators believe the same person or group of individuals may be responsible for all four fires.
“We are committed to finding the individual or individuals who are behind these senseless fires,” Ohio Fire Marshal Kevin Reardon said. “I am grateful to the ATF for matching the Blue Ribbon Arson Committee’s $5,000 reward to encourage the public to help us solve these cases before any more properties are destroyed, individuals are hurt, or lives are potentially lost.”
Officials say in addition to a $5,000 reward being offered by the Blue Ribbon Arson Committee , the ATF is offering $5,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of those responsible for these fires.
Anyone with information is urged to contact SFM’s tip line at 800-589-2728 or the ATF’s tip line at 1-888-ATF-TIPS (888-283-8477).
