Vt arson tip line ups reward for Brattleboro fire

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont arson tip line is adding to the reward to help determine who started a fire at a Brattleboro apartment building.

Brattleboro Police say the Arson Tip Award Program will pay up to $5,000 for information about the Saturday fire at 23 Main Street in Brattleboro.

John Dunphy, who owns the Lawrence Block, has already offered a $1,000 reward.

Dunphy says the fire started in a closet and was not the result of an electrical malfunction.

There were no injuries. The blaze caused minor damage.
