Each year, deliberately-set fires kill more than 300 people, injure thousands and destroy more than $1 billion worth of property. Arson crimes have increased more than 400% over the past 10 years according to some estimates. Arson affects everyone. Fire-gutted building and burned-out businesses create a chain reaction of unemployment, higher insurance costs, and a reduced tax base needed to support schools, local government and other important community services.
