The theme "Arson is NOT a Victimless Crime." The goals of Arson Awareness Week are to focus public attention on severe national consequences of arson, to encourage community involvement in dissemination of arson awareness information, to organize local events that raise community awareness, and to engage national, regional, and local media outlets in delivering the message of arson awareness. Nationally incendiary or suspicious structure fires resulted in $1.34 billion in property damage. Along with the monetary losses, the entire country is affected because of businesses that are forced to close after a fire, jobs lost, and insurance rates increase. It is time to push the message that arson is not a victimless crime in every contact with the public and media! By drawing people's attention to the costs of arson, we hope to level the resources and support necessary to reduce or end this crime
