Nashville Fire Department arson investigators are asking for help identifying a man caught on video setting an SUV on fire in someone's driveway over the weekend.

The arson took place early Sunday in the 3300 Block of Hawkwood Lane near Doverside Drive, fire department spokesman Joseph Pleasant said.

Crews responded at 5:42 a.m. to a vehicle fire and upon arrival found a GMC Yukon ablaze.

The people inside the home told authorities they heard a loud roaring noise, looked outside and saw the SUV totally engulfed in flames.

Home surveillance cameras caught footage of an adult male suspect walk up to the SUV with a container in his hand. He then poured a liquid onto the SUV and set it on fire before running away toward Doverside Drive.

Pleasant said the fire was so intense it spread from the SUV and reached the home causing damage to the house.

A $5,000 cash reward for information leading to the arrest an conviction of an arsonist is being offered.
