Reward of up to $10K offered to tipsters in Dooly County warehouse arson case

A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of one or more arsonists who reportedly set fire to a vacant warehouse in Dooly County last month, Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens announced Tuesday.

The Nov. 30 blaze destroyed the empty 200,000 square foot Roseburg Forest Products warehouse, an old particle board plant which was previously owned by Georgia-Pacific.

No one was hurt, but Hudgens estimates the flames caused about $500,000 in damage to the building, which is off U.S. 41 in Vienna.

Anyone with information about the fire is urged to call the 24-hour Georgia Arson Hotline at 800-282-5804. Callers may choose to remain anonymous.
