INTRODUCTION

Background

Public Law 95-422, October 5, 1978, established a Federal focus within the Federal

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on the serious national problem of arson. Prime

coordination responsibility within FEMA was given to the U.S. Fire Administration. The

purpose of this responsibility is to provide technical assistance, do research and development,

and assist States and localities to develop policies which will help reduce, control, and prevent

their incidents of arson.

The second edition, which updated and expanded the first Directory, was published in

January 1982, and a third edition was published in 1988.

Purpose

The Arson Resource Directory is intended to provide an explanation and identification

of organizations and individuals who are concerned with arson prevention and control. This

Directory is designed to help you contact resources that will assist you in coordinating your

efforts with others.

Design

The Directory is divided into three parts. Part I contains the major programmatic

areas, across the Nation, concerned with arson prevention and control. Part II identifies

miscellaneous groupings of Federal, public, and private resources other than those falling into

the programmatic areas. Part III is an alphabetical index of organizations, programs, and

resources listed in the Directory. The Table of Contents identifies major organizational

Parts, Sections, and Subsections. The Index identifies programs, organizations, and persons

alphabetically and indicates page numbers of location.

PART I

A. Management of Arson Prevention and Control

Activities and Resources
MANAGEMENT OF ARSON PREVENTION AND CONTROL

ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES

This country is combatting arson using various management approaches, agents, and

agencies. The prevention and control of this complex crime require a number of management

strategies, including the Arson Task Force concept with its State, county, and metropolitan

units.

This section also lists other agencies and entities responsible for management

approaches, Data Resources, Arson Information Management Systems, and Public Education

Programs.
ARSON TASK FORCES

The arson task force is a management system for the purpose of developing and

implementing strategies to control and prevent arson. Its concept is simple: mobilize public

and private resources; identify and coordinate responsibilities; set policy or guidelines; and

integrate efforts of agencies, groups, and persons who are or should be involved in an

organized strategy for implementing arson prevention and control. Arson task forces may

fall into two general categories:

l Legal or quasi-legal constituted bodies

l Private, advisory committees, usually initiated or supported by the insurance

industry.

Responsibilities of the Arson Task Force

The arson task force has two major areas of responsibility. The first is policy setting,

the second is program implementation.

Policy-Setting Responsibilities

1. Defining the community’s arson situation by:

Identifying the problem

Identifying the contributing factors

Identifying and evaluating existing programs, if any

Identifying available resources.

2. Setting goals and objectives such as:

Classifying the magnitude of the arson problem

Promoting public awareness

Increasing ratio of convictions for total number of arson incidents.

3. Setting policies, establishing priorities, and selecting programs such as:

Establishing training for all line firefighters, fire officers, and police officers

Encouraging high professional standards for arson investigators and others concerned

with arson prevention and control

2
Defining responsibilities and jurisdictions for investigation of suspected incendiary

fires

Fostering and improving communication, coordination, and cooperation among fire

departments, law enforcement agencies, the insurance industry, and other public and

private groups

Establishing tip&r/hotline program

Establishing public awareness and media campaigns

Establishing liaison with the legislators to promote legislation which will provide

disincentives to arsonists.

4. Approving and implementing programs such as:

Identifying sources of funding support

Obtaining commitments from member agencies

Identifying responsible agency for specific programs

Implementing programs.

5. Evaluating and revising, as necessary, mission and goals:

Assessing program objectives

Determining program effectiveness and resource utilization

Examining, as necessary, program alternatives.

Program Implementation Responsibilities

1. Forming an arson control unit

2. Setting up mechanisms for arson data analysis and an arson information management

system

3. Increasing public awareness of the arson problem

4. Instituting tipster/hotline program

5. Obtaining community participation

6. Establishing training in detection, investigation, and prosecution

7. Instituting a juvenile firesetters counseling program.

STATEWIDE ARSON ORGANIZATIONS

The Offices of the Governor in several States have been urged to establish arson task

forces because of the alarming increase in arson and the accompanying heavy losses of life and

property. These quasi-legal task forces examine arson problems and develop statewide

strategies for arson prevention and control. Technical assistance by the Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) and initial financial support from the Law Enforcement

Assistance Administration (LEAA) in 1979-1980 aided in implementing this concept.

THE NATIONAL FIRE INCIDENT REPORTING SYSTEM (NFIRS)

NFIRS is the largest fire incident specific data collection effort in the United States, It

is operated by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA/FEMA) in conjunction with the National

Fire Information Council (NFIC) and the voluntarily participating States and local fire

departments. As currently configured, this system provides a core of standardized fire

incident, firefighter, and civilian casualty data unavailable from any other source, for the

quantification and analysis of fire loss experience at the local, State, and Federal level.

The 40 participating States currently represent approximately 12,000 fire departments

generating in excess of 1,000,000 incident records annually. The system has enjoyed

expanding participation since its inception in 1976 when six States piloted the initial NFIRS

prototype. NFIRS now offers participants both mainframe and microcomputer applications for

data collection and analysis, thus allowing each level of participant to utilize the data collected

by their reporting jurisdiction(s).

The obvious strength of this system is the local fire departments’ commitment of

standardized fire incident data collection, which allows comparison of their fire experience to

the experience of others. NFIRS provides the common ground for the detailed examination of

the Nation’s fire problem, through a cooperative effort by fire departments and State

governments which could be accomplished by no other known means.

ARSON INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (AIMS)

AIMS version 6 is an interactive, custom programmed, structured implementation of

relational data files that contain arson-related information. It is “interactive” in that it

interfaces with the various files searching for potential matches, provides on-screen help and

verification of coded fields, and keeps the user informed of linkages between the various files

and records. It also provides an environment in which the user can easily enter, retrieve,

query, and maintain all information about a given case. The system’s facilities help provide a

high level of data quality at entry and edit time so that later searches will be as fruitful as

possible.

Other capabilities provide potentials to agencies that wish to use them. For example,

because of the system’s linking abilities, complete property histories can be developed on

target structures: sales histories, the chain of previous owners, policies, holding companies,

and corporate officers all linked in a chain that can show patterns, and involvement in other

cases and other properties with fire histories.

Attention has also been given to some of the important day-to-day case-management

needs; an evidence tracking system and investigator assignment manager have been added.

ARSON PUBLIC EDUCATION

Communities are combatting arson through the use of local public education

campaigns. These campaigns alert the public to the seriousness of this crime and the need for

community involvement.

Successful methods of educating the public include:

News conferences held by recognized city leaders

Press releases

Newspaper articles and continuous coverage

Arson specials for television

Lectures to civic, school, and community groups.

The most common method to involve the public is the tipster/hotline program which

includes a reward fund. The program and its identifiable slogan and symbol are advertised

using the following:

Television and radio public service announcements

Billboards

Signs on public transportation vehicles

Newspapers and magazines

Reward signs posted at sites of suspicious fires

Flyers.

PART I

B. Programs and Resources for Investigation/

Prosecution of Arson
PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES

FOR INVESTIGATION/PROSECUTION OF ARSON

The causes of many arsons go undetected because fires are often believed to be

accidental. Many arsonists are never caught and even if they are arrested, arson is difficult to

prove in court. Evidence is often destroyed in the fire; thus, most cases are based on

circumstantial or indirect evidence.

The low success rate of arson prosecutions can be attributed to the following reasons:

Firefighters first on scene were untrained to detect the cause of the fire

Fire investigators were either too few in number, or inadequately trained

Prosecutors, inexperienced with arson cases or overburdened with caseloads,

avoided the difficult arson cases.

Communities and organizations, alarmed by the arson problem, have sought to

improve the training of firefighters, investigators, and prosecutors. The following list

identifies some of these education and training programs.

Federal programs are listed first. These are followed by State programs and programs

for prosecuting attorneys.

70
FEDERAL TRAINING PROGRAMS

Federal Training Efforts

National Fire Academy

The National Fire Academy, Emmitsburg, Maryland, offers the following training

courses in arson detection and investigation:

“Fire/Arson Investigation”

The course addresses skills in conducting fire investigations. Arson bum

buildings are used to demonstrate techniques in legal fire investigation to assist

in successful arson prosecutions. Students completing the course will be

equipped to identify fire origin and cause; conduct legal, technically correct

investigations; and properly pursue the case through the judicial system.

The course includes both classroom learning and “hands-on” training, acquired

from bum building scene examinations and case development.

This course is recommended for credit by the American Council on Education

at the upper-division baccalaureate or graduate level for 3 credit hours in

Arson Investigation, Fire Science, Criminal Justice, or Insurance.

Course Duration: 10 days

PROSECUTOR TRAINING

Legal prosecution plays an important role in deterring and punishing arsonists.

Prosecutors, unfamiliar with arson, have traditionally been reluctant to pursue arsonists.

However, prosecutors are now better informed about arson, and have become more aggressive

in taking arsonists to court. Also, many prosecutors serve on arson task forces and agencies

which devise anti-arson strategies. State district attorney organizations are spearheading

training programs which will help prosecutors be more effective in prosecuting arsonists.
