The Fire Chief Says:
For the past 17 ye :s an average
of 500 to 600 arre :s are made
yearly for arson ou, of some 3500
fires of suspicious .rigin investi-
gated each year. An arson school
is conducted at Purdue University
for insurance company fire inves-
tigators. Arson cases ate generally
the result of the work of juveniles,
spite fires or thos~" set by pyro-
maniacs. Fires delibera4~y set for
-profit are.few. Arson is one of the
oldest capital crimes. From the
days of the Romans until 120 years
ago the penalty for arson was
death Today the death penalty is
sought only if someone dies as a
~esult of arson.
