LA County offers $50K reward for info on arson
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County has approved a $50,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the arsonist who set a massive fire that killed two firefighters. The state has already offered $100,000.
The county’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved its reward Tuesday.
Sheriff’s and fire investigators were continuing a homicide investigation into the fire that has scorched about 250 square miles of Angeles National Forest.
Officials have said the cause of the fire was arson but have released no other findings.
Two firefighters died when their truck plunged off a mountain road Aug. 30.
