PANAMA CITY — State fire officials are offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of arson suspects in two local house fires, the Florida Department of Financial Services’ Division of State Fire Marshal announced Tuesday.
The reward is the second to be offered this month for information about a Panama City area arson. But the two fires are not believed to be related.
The most recent fire took place on March 2, at a home located at 1432 Ridgewood Ave. in Springfield. The Florida Advisory Committee on Arson Prevention offered a reward Tuesday of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for that fire.
Last week, the State Fire Marshal’s Office announced a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the people responsible for the Feb. 22, house fire at 811 E. Eighth Court in Panama City.
