Officials continue their investigation into last week's fire at a home in Toms Brook, which they say someone set intentionally.

Investigators believe the fire was started at the front of the home and eventually spread to the second floor in the

Three people were inside the home at the time and were able to make it out safely.

But now, the family has no home. They had no renters insurance and lost everything in the fire

The Shenandoah Valley Coalition for Christ is helping the family gather items to bounce back. The Red Cross of Virginia has helped support them as well.

"They're doing well, but they are living with family, so they don't have any storage right now," said Sharon Hollar, with SVCC. "As soon as they get a home, then they'll be able to get things that they need."

At the scene of the fire, investigators found misspelled graffiti on the garage behind the home. They say it looks like the phrase "Confederacy will burn" was written over the detached garage, as well as a profane sentence reading "**** Confederacy," though the word 'Confederacy' was misspelled.

"We think that there are some connections to the graffiti with the fire," said David Ferguson, Shenandoah County Fire Marshal. "However, we're not necessarily saying that this is a hate crime. We're looking at all avenues at this point in time."

Before the fire started, the front of the house displayed both a Confederate flag and a United States flag on the front porch, where the fire began.

A father, 16-year-old daughter, and an 18-year-old son were inside when the daughter was awakened by a smoke detector and got everyone else in the house, including the family dog, out.

Fire Marshal David Ferguson called the arson a "really brutal crime," saying fire only takes seconds to minutes to spread, and if the family's 16-year-old daughter had not been woken up by a smoke detector, multiple people could have been killed.

Ferguson says burning an occupied building could result in a life sentence and even charges of attempted murder.

Officials are asking if you have any information on the fire to call 540-459-6177. They are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for any information that will lead to an arrest.
