Investigators still seeking info on fraternity house fire

Ohio Fire Marshal

Investigators have increased the amount of reward money for a suspected arson on the Miami University campus in Oxford.  The fire damaged the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house on May 25 and remains unsolved.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is offering an additional $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for the fire.  That's on top of the $5,000 reward posted by the Blue Ribbon Arson Committee.

“It is imperative that someone come forward with information,” said State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers. “Investigators want to hear from anyone who saw something out of the ordinary at or around the time of the fire or who may have heard someone speaking about the fire with an unusual level of interest or knowledge.”

Anyone with information, video or photos involving this fire is asked to call the State Fire Marshal’s Fire & Explosion Investigation Bureau at 1-800-589-2728, the Oxford Police Department’s tip line at 513-524-5268, or the ATF at 260-424-4440.
