Foresters Still Searching for Arsonist

By Associated Press

Mobile, AL – Authorities say someone deliberately set dozens of wildfires last weekend in rural Mobile County and they're offering a five-thousand dollar reward to catch the culprit.

Colleen Vansant, a Forestry Commission spokeswoman, said investigators determined that approximately 40 fires were set in the Grand Bay, Saint Elmo and Seven Hill communities between 3 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday. No one was injured.

Anyone with information can remain anonymous by calling the Commission's arson hot line at 1-800-222-2927.
