NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Bill Haslam has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Decatur County Fire Chief Kenny Fox.

On April 7, Fox was killed while battling a blaze at the Oak Hill Bar in Parsons. Investigators determined later that the fire was an act of arson, which made Fox’s death a felony of first-degree murder.

Two firefighters were injured.
