This years fire season has already started and so far the score is showing the fire fighters in the lead with several large fires under their belts in California, Nevada and Arizona. So far in 2005 we have not had any huge or "Mega Fires" but, cross your fingers that our luck continues. If you are concerned about your community after the very wet season of Winter 2005 as well as the tremendous growth you may want to consider starting an Arson Watch Program. If you elect to go for it and setup a team of volunteers to watch out for arson you can find a few things you should be aware of about. I have written a cost-free online 21-page E-Book, that you just are welcome to read if you're thinking of starting such a group. It's available:

The most critical thing when setting up a community arson watch program is to involve the local agencies for example the Fire Watch Services department, police and any nearby Federal Agencies as an example the USDA Forest Service and/or BLM; bureau of land management. Below are a few quick pointers to help you.

The Local Fire department will provide a Community Relations person to explain to participants the need to report arsonists and simple things you can do to minimize the potential exponential and aggressive natures of small containable fires until the fire department arrives with the appropriate tools to fight the fire. They will explain the best way to set up roadblocks and secure easy access for fire vehicles to arrive. When to get out of there and which direction to go. They're going to also explain exactly what the reality of your limits are based on the sort of equipment in your vehicle.

The USDAFS will explain what is being done, why the importance, water tables, this years potential exposure. They will provide handouts and safety tips and what to do, where to go and where to tune in; Prevention, communication and nature. Annually the USDAFS does extensive research in prevention and data collection. This really is information everyone should be aware of who lives near forested areas, parks and mountainous area. The can provide the education that will help save the lives of you as well as your family.

The Police-department will give a Community Relations person to describe to participants the need to report crimes and what is in fact a crime. Arson is a crime, among the worst possible crimes. The police can explain how you can detect suspicious behavior from a potential arsonist. They're going to explain that when someone cuts you off on the Highway it can be unfortunate situation but not a crime and also to limit telephone calls to important things. Most importantly, they will explain that the participants will be the eyes and ears of the Police, not vigilantes. The Police will likely ask participants to possess the police departments phone number programmed into their cellular mobile devices as well as to only use the 911 feature only for accidents involving arson activity, accident injuries and very serious things. The Police-department will also offer the certificates to participants whenever they have finished the seminar, that may be signed by police chief or local area Relations Officer.

City Council members will very likely endorse the project at a town council meeting and give a proclamation to the President of The Chamber of Commerce for the Chambers and local businesses service to community. Most towns or towns can allot at least $2,500.00 towards the project for the signage. Donations for the remained can often be obtained large companies within the area. By announcing it at a city council meeting the program will get the publicity it needs to get quality participants.
