Arson Awareness Week Is Underway

National Arson Awareness week is traditionally observed the first week in May, and this year's theme is working together to extinguish serial arson. According to FEMA Regional Administrator Ken Murphy, the goal of this year's arson awareness week is to zero in on the crime of arson, and to use the week of May 1st to the 7th to focus public attention on serial arsonists and provide law enforcement, fire and emergency service departments and communities with tools and tactics to prevent arson in their cities and towns.
