Each year, billions of dollars worth of property and hundreds of lives are lost as a result of fires set by arsonists. When you add in indirect costs – lost jobs, lost property tax revenue, higher insurance premiums, money spent to investigate and prosecute arsonists – the total cost is much, much higher.

Through education and knowledge, we can work together to make a difference and diminish the cost of this crime.
