Arson is a crime

Around 50% of fires attended by ESFRS are started deliberately, as well as costing homes millions of pounds a year valuable resources are diverted away from attending genuine incidents.

Lives are being put at risk.

Arson often starts with a fascination for fire and progresses to lighting small fires but this can quickly escalate onto skips, cars, derelict properties and most disturbingly people's homes.

Working in close partnership with the Police, Crimestoppers, local authorities, neighbourhood watch schemes and other agencies we educate and aim to deter potential arsonists.

If you have any information about arson (deliberate fires) or any other crime please call Crimestoppers free and anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit Sussex Crime Stoppers
