The Tenderfoot Fire burned 4,087 acres near Yarnell earlier this month.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials are saying it was likely human caused.
Steve Skurja, director of the Yavapai Silent Witness Program, said they are now offering a $5,000 cash reward for information leading to the cause of the fire and who may have sparked it.
“There were no clouds in the sky, there was no rain that day. This wasn’t an electrical fire as far as lightening goes," Skurja said. "So, we’re assuming that somebody started this fire. Maybe it was accidental, maybe it was on purpose. These are the things we are trying to find out. These are the answers that we need."
Skurja said he hopes the reward will help add incentive for those who know about the person or persons involved in starting the blaze.
