Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens says a fire yesterday at a home in Coffee County was intentionally set.
The fire, which occurred Thursday morning at 67 North Sheridan Street, heavily damaged the doublewide manufactured home. No one was home when the 6 a.m. fire started, and investigators estimate damages at $9,000.
Hudgens is asking anyone with information about this fire to call the Georgia Arson Hotline at 1-800-282-5804. Rewards of up to $10,000 are given for information leading to the arrest and conviction of an arsonist. Calls are taken 24 hours a day, and callers can choose to remain anonymous.
The Coffee County Fire Department and the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office are assisting with the investigation.
