Question: What are some ways to prevent arsons!?10pts!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Most arson fires are started outdoors!. Don't make it easy for an arsonist to start a fire or easy for an outdoor fire to spread to a building!.

Steps that can be taken
to reduce the incidents of arson:

* Keep leaves, firewood, overgrown brush and shrubbery and other combustibles away from buildings!.

* Keep doors and windows locked when a building is unoccupied!. Board up abandoned buildings!. Do not use double cylinder deadbolt locks without keeping a key nearby, bars without quick release mechanisms, or other security provisions that could trap a person in a building with a deadly fire!.

* Store all flammable liquids such as; paints, gasoline, and mowers in an approved storage location: locked cabinets, locked storage units, and locked garages (prevent access to kids)!. also, keep away from heat sources such as furnaces and any type of heaters!.

* Report suspicious activity near houses or other buildings to the local police and support Neighborhood Watch programs!.

* If you suspect a child is setting fires, notify the proper authorities!. It may not be "just a phase" they are going through!. Keep matches and lighters out of reach and out of sight of young children!.

* If you know or suspect that an arson crime has been committed, contact your local fire or police department!.
