The FBI announced Saturday it's offering a reward of up to $10,000 "for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for starting the fires near Ruidoso."
Information posted on the FBI's website did not provide any additional information about how the fires started.
Margot Cravens, public information officer with the FBI’s Albuquerque Division, confirmed in an email that “the FBI is assisting our local, state, federal and tribal partners in the ongoing investigation of the fires in Ruidoso NM.”
The fires began Monday and had burned more than 24,000 acres as of Saturday. About 1,400 buildings had been impacted by the blazes and two people had died as a result of the fires.
The FBI asked tips be provided to its toll-free tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
"You may also contact your local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov," the website states
