The Rincon Luiseno Band of California is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible for the recent Paradise Fire.

Investigators have determined the fire was deliberately set. The fire started on the reservation October 26 and killed two people.

The fire hit 14 of 18 reservations in San Diego County. On some reservations, nearly every home was lost. Other tribes saw significant damage to their land.
