COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- It was the most destructive wildfire in Colorado's history and the Waldo Canyon Fire Task Force is continuing to seek information about how it started.
The reward for information into the identity of the person or persons who started the fire is $100,000.

Anyone who may have suspect information can call (719) 385-2222. According to authorities, this is the only phone number to call to receive a reward.
Separate reward money is also available for any suspect information that leads to the identification and arrest of the persons involved in the home and vehicle burglaries in the evacuation area.
The Waldo Canyon Fire started on June 23, 2012 and was declared 100 percent contained on July 10.
More than 32,000 residents were evacuated as the fire invaded west Colorado Springs. The fire destroyed 346 homes.
