A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to the conviction of whoever set fire to three homes and a garage in East Liverpool over the weekend.

The announcement comes from the Ohio Fire Marshal’s Office who declared Sunday nights blazes along Avondale Street as arsons.

The East Liverpool Fire Department arrived just before 8:30 p.m. to find flames coming from a two-story home.  The fire spread to two nearby homes and a garage, causing a total loss.

No one was injured.

Anyone who can provide information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible is asked to call the State Fire Marshal Tipline at 800-589-2728 or the East Liverpool Police at 330-385-1234.  Tipsters may remain anonymous.
