OGDEN — Authorities on Friday offered a $5,000 reward for information toward solving a fire that destroyed an apartment building under construction and three adjacent homes.

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Explosives said in a news release that it was jointly offering the reward with the Ogden police and fire departments, which also are investigating the fire.

The fire, at 330 28th St., did an estimated $3 million in damage. The apartment building had been framed and the structure would have had 40 apartments, the owners said.
