Fire crimes refer to illegal acts involving fire, such as arson, which is the intentional setting of fires to cause damage or harm. These crimes can target buildings, forests, or vehicles, and often result in significant property loss, environmental damage, and even injury or loss of life. Investigating fire crimes typically involves fire marshals and law enforcement, who analyze the scene for evidence. They look for signs of accelerants, patterns of burn, and witness accounts to determine the cause and identify suspects. Fire crimes are taken seriously due to their potential for widespread destruction and danger to public safety.
