NATCHITOCHES, LA (KSLA) -
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual(s) responsible for the Natchitoches Parish wildfire that burned more than 5,000 acres in early September.
The fire, dubbed the "TD13 Fire," broke out September 2 near the Ashland and Creston communities and burned nearly 5,000 acres of timberland and destroyed 10 homes and 35 outbuildings. Timber losses were estimated at $5 million in addition to $2 to $3 million in lost homes and other items.
The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) investigators determined the cause of the fire was arson.
Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain announced the reward offer at a news conference Tuesday morning at the home of Natchitoches Parish Sheriff Deputy Ronnie Quick. Quick's home, 3048 Hwy. 153, Saline, was destroyed in the fire.
The Louisiana Forestry Association, Hancock Forestry, Roy O. Martin Co., Weyerhaeuser and the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce put up the reward.
"It is important that we find whoever is responsible for this fire and hold them accountable," Strain said. "We are asking anyone with information to come forward."
To report a suspected arson, call the LDAF's emergency hotline number at 1-855-452-5323.
