Los Angeles (myFOXla.com) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever set a deadly wildfire north of Los Angeles.
Schwarzenegger announced the reward Friday, a day after officials said forensic evidence at the fire's point of origin revealed that the wildfire -- among the largest in Southern California's history -- was intentionally set. Two firefighters died Sunday when their truck careened off a steep mountain road.
Under state law, the governor may offer rewards up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person killing a firefighter in the line of duty.
The fire has burned through 241 square miles of the Angeles
National Forest. More than 70 homes have been destroyed.
