MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- The West Virginia Fire Marshal's Office is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to arrests in a Morgantown street fire that destroyed three vehicles.

The blaze last weekend was one of seven street fires set after the West Virginia-Baylor football game.

Police say the Cass Street fire spread to and destroyed three parked vehicles. It also caused about $1,000 in damage to the exterior of a house.

That fire began at about 6:50 a.m. Sunday.

A local property owner is offering a separate $2,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest.

West Virginia students and their friends regularly start bonfires to celebrate everything from a major sports victory to the end of a semester.

WVU beat Baylor 70-63 in its Big 12 debut.
