ENHANCED REWARDS OFFERED FOR ARREST AND CONVICTION OF ARSONIST
(Palm Bay)—The Palm Bay Fire Marshal’s Office announces an
enhanced reward for information leading to the successful arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for a series of arsons in the City over the last several months. A $10,000 reward is being offered through the Central Florida CRIMELINE pertaining to this case. CRIMELINE callers can remain anonymous.
According to the Fire Marshal’s Office, since November 2009 approximately 60 fires have been deliberately set. These fires are mostly concentrated in the southwest and southeast portions of the City.
To date no structures have been damaged or destroyed and no injuries have been reported as a result of these suspicious fires. The Palm Bay Fire Marshal is working in conjunction with the Palm Bay Police Department and the State Division of Forestry to investigate the arsons. All available resources are being deployed in order to successfully apprehend those that are responsible.
Anyone with information should contact the Central Florida CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS
Change your clocks, change your batteries!
Daylight Savings Time is back ~ March 14
 "For the 22nd year, the International Association of Fire Chiefs ("IAFC"), Energizer, and our network of 6,200 fire departments have partnered on the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program to remind communities nationwide of the life-saving habit of changing the battery in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when they change their clocks back to Daylight Savings Time.
While it may seem like a simple and easy habit to remember, 20 percent of homes in the United States do not have a working smoke alarm, mostly due to dead or missing batteries, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Therefore, over 25 million homes are even more at risk of facing a deadly home fire. Sadly, about 540 children ages 14 and under die each year from a home fire.*" read here for more information
