Fire Investigations

Accidents happen and sometimes a fire is an accident. But when it’s intentional, it is called arson and arson is a crime. Arson accounts for:

• 13% of all fire calls nationally
• 375 deaths per year
• 1,300 injuries per year
• $1.06 billion in property loss

Arson affects all of us via increased insurance premiums. Help us help you! If you have any information about an arson, please fill out the Report Suspected Arson form. You can include your name or you can submit it anonymously. Your help is important and can lead to a cash reward through the Ohio Blue Ribbon Arson Committee.
