Arson Awareness Week May 3-9, 2009
This Year's Theme: Arson for Profit
The United States Fire Administration (USFA) announces this year’s Arson Awareness Week (AAW) theme – Arson for Profit. The USFA partnered with the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI).
The goal of this year’s AAW, May 3-9, is to focus public attention on arson for profit. By drawing people’s at*tention to the alarming statistics about arson for profit, we hope to expand the resources and support neces*sary to reduce this crime. There are many motives for arson - the crime of deliberately and maliciously set*ting fire. Arson for profit, or economic arson, is when businesses or individuals set fires to reduce financial loss, recoup initial investments, or dispose of depreci*ated assets usually for a payout from insurance com*panies.
