Covina : Reward Offered in Arson
The school district is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the person who set fire to a wing of the Barranca Elementary School Jan. 5.
The fire destroyed four classrooms, causing an estimated $450,000 in damage, said Sidney Stokes, the district’s assistant superintendent of business services. He said replacement of the classrooms, at the corner of Barranca and Workman streets, will not be completed until August.
Stokes said anyone with information on the blaze should call the Covina Fire Department at 967-6464, extension 356.
