It’s Arson Awareness Week… and the state’s unofficial slogan for the effort is “Arson Ain’t Cool.”
Part of the push through the state fire marshal’s office is an effort to reduce fires set by young people.
But the state is also encouraging the public at large to be more involved in the fight against arson… through efforts like keeping dried leaves and brush cleared away from buildings, making sure vacant buildings are locked and boarded up, and reporting suspicious activity to authorities.
You can learn more at the state fire marshal’s website.
