Arson investigators in the south west are jumping for joy after being given nearly a quarter of a million pounds in Government money to carry on with their work for the next two years.
Every year there are 2000 fires started deliberately around the south west. Two people die a week because of arson attacks.
The Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Arson Task Force has been around since 2001 to catch arsonists and reduce the risk that comes from the criminal practice.
The Arson Task Force is a partnership between the Isles of Scilly Fire Brigade, Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, Devon Fire and Rescue Service and the Cornwall Fire Brigade.
