Arson burns everyone. The Michigan Arson Prevention Committee was formed to coordinate an attack on arson. Representatives from fire and police services, the insurance industry, business, and government have been combining their efforts since 1973 to put a stop to arson.

But what can you do? If you know about an arson, go to the reward section to find out how you can report it. Teach your Children not to play with fire, and educate them about the dangers of playing with matches and lighters. Educate yourself about current arson related legislation, and find out who to contact to get these and other laws passed.

Protect your home by doing the following:

• Keep your yard well lighted.
• Always lock your doors and garages.
• Keep you property free of trash and debris.
• Let neighbors know when you plan to leave for extended periods. Ask them to report suspicious activity to police officials.
