Reward fund of $10,000 available for information that leads to a conviction

The Clark County Fire Marshal’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying a person and vehicle of interest in an ongoing fire investigation.

The Fire Marshal’s office is asking the public to review the videos below to see if they recognize the person or vehicle. The video was taken at approximately 2 a.m. July 5 near the Old Cherry Grove Church in Battle Ground. The former church and nearby home were completely destroyed in a fire.

“This thoughtless act cost our community a piece of our local history which can’t be replaced,” said Assistant Fire Marshal Curtis Eavenson. “The property loss is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is fortunate that no injuries occurred to occupants or firefighters.”

If anyone recognizes the vehicle or person depicted in the video or has any information regarding the ongoing fire investigation, they are urged to contact the county’s Fire Marshal Office at (564) 397-3320.

A $10,000 reward fund is available for anyone who is able to provide information that leads to a conviction in this case.
