It’s Arson Awareness Week, and this year’s focus is preventing arson.
Arson is a serious crime that endangers lives, property, and entire communities. Let’s work together to reduce this risk and keep our neighborhoods safe.
Here are a few tips from the U.S. Fire Administration:
- Homes: Maintain and clear the area around your property where vegetation and other flammable materials are kept to reduce the risk of fire and to provide a safe area for firefighters to defend the property.
- Construction sites: Secure perimeters and limit access.
- Houses of worship: Enhance security and be vigilant.
- Vacant buildings: Report unsecured structures to authorities.
- Workplace: Maintain parking lot and exterior building lighting and security cameras.
- Report suspicious activity to the police by calling 911.
Together we can reduce the risk of arson.
