Investigators have determined arson caused two forest fires in Montgomery County that ravaged nearly 450 acres last
week.
More than 10 homes were threatened by a 241-acre fire west of Blacksburg on Prices Fork Road on Nov. 9, and a fire Nov. 13 burned 207 acres near the Big Falls recreational area.
Investigators believe the two fires are related, and are offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information on the case.
Those with information on either fire are asked to call the VDOF Office in Salem at 540-387-5461. The department advised the risk of fires is elevated until at least Nov. 30.
