Reward money of up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for setting fire to an abandoned mobile home in Mt. Airy.

The fire broke out around 8:15 Thursday night. It gutted an unoccupied doublewide located at 181 Edgewood Drive. Officials say there was no power connected to the trailer. The State Fire Marshall’s Office investigated and spokesman Glenn Allen says, “Investigators were able to make a determination that this fire was intentionally set.” Allen could not discuss what led investigators to that conclusion but says they are asking for the community’s help in finding whoever’s responsible.
