May
5-11, 2013 is National Arson Awareness Week, and this year’s theme is "reducing
residential arson".
To reduce the risk of Arson in your neighborhood:
- Clean around your house
- Trim or remove shrubbery that may block the view of your house from the street
- Remove unused and unneeded paper, trash, cleaning supplies and other materials that could be used as fuel for a fire
- Install lights that cover all sides of your house
- Install a burglar and fire alarm system in your home
- Keep doors and windows locked
- Make sure your smoke alarms are in proper working condition
To report a fire call 9-1-1. In a non-emergency
situation, when you know or suspect that an arson crime has been committed, or
to report suspicious activity, call (253) 591-5740.
