Authorities are investigating a series of suspicious structure fires in Masonville, a small town just south of Owensboro.

The Masonville Fire Department says it was dispatched to three fires in four days, two of which occurred in the Pleasant Ridge area, and appear to have been intentionally set. Kentucky State Police arson investigators and the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the fires.

Anyone with information on the fires is asked to contact the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office or the Arson Hotline at 1-800-27-ARSON.

A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered.
