SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — A $10,000 reward is being offered after South Fulton investigators say a home was intentionally lit on fire back in October. The fire killed four people including a 7-year-old girl and her grandmother.
Investigators believe the fire was intentional and say there is more than one person of interest. The results were concluded once investigators conducted interviews and gathered evidence from the scene, according to South Fulton Fire Chief Chad Jones.
On Oct. 19, firefighters were called to a home off Owego Trail after it caught fire. Twelve people were inside the house when the fire erupted. Eight people managed to get out of the home, but four others died.

One of those killed in the fire was Hailey Harris, 7. Harris and her grandmother's remains were found on the second floor of the home, eight hours after the fire broke out.
Mark Owens and his significant other, Tasha, also died in the fire, family members said.
Jones urges those with information about the housefire to call the Georgia Arson Control Hotline.
“All calls and information will be kept confidential,” said Jones.
The number for the hotline is 800-282-5804. The $10,000 will be given if the information provided “leads to an arrest and conviction of those responsible,” according to a news release from the City of South Fulton Fire Rescue Department.
