State and federal authorities are investigating a suspicious fire at a DeKalb County school.
DeKalb fire battalion chief DeJuan Gilchrist tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution firefighters responded to the blaze at St. Martin’s Episcopal School about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. The private school, which teaches students in grades kindergarten through eighth, is in Fields Episcopal Church in Brookhaven.
Georgia Arson Control is offering a $10,000 reward for information regarding the fire, which damaged about 1,000 square feet near the school’s entrance and injured a few animals.
Gilchrist says surveillance video captured someone breaking into the church just before the fire.
