Arson and Fire Setting

Fire setting is the deliberate and malicious ignition of property by a person. Arson is the deliberate setting of fire to ones own or another persons property.

Fire setting and arson can affect everybody within local communities. The knock on effect of fire can be devastating.

The cost can be catastrophic.

Locally there are numerous initiatives being carried out aiming to raise peoples awareness about arson and fire setting and the way to reduce these incidents.

South Wales Fire and Resuce Service have implemented its own arson reduction unit whose main objective is to reach out to the communities within South Wales and assist in Arson reduction and arson awareness.
