Investigators: Vincennes dry cleaner fire was set…

VINCENNES, Ind. (AP) _ Investigators say a fire that destroyed a dry-cleaning business in the southwestern Indiana city of Vincennes was intentionally set.
 
The Vincennes City Fire Department and the state fire marshal's office found evidence the May 21 fire began outside C&G Quality Dry Cleaning Services. 
 
Officials say chemicals fueled the fire and Vincennes Fire Chief Gordon Becher says the blaze spread so quickly that crews couldn't put water on the building fast enough. The building and all of its contents were a total loss.
 
WFIE-TV and WTHI-TV report a $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest. The Indiana Arson Hot Line is 800-382-4628. 
 
The business owner said all was fine a few hours before the fire when he locked up the business that he's owned for 10 years.
