Purpose of Arson Purpose of Arson ModuleModule
“An indispensable tool in the war against arson is the ability to identify where the crime takes place, what form it takes, and the characteristics of its targets and perpetrators”.

Use of Arson ModuleUse of Arson ModuleThe Arson Module is required whenever the Cause of Ignition is coded as “intentional” (Fire Module) or Incendiary (Wildland Module).–No determination must be made
as to criminal intent or whether or not a crime has occurred.

Additional Uses Additional Uses of Arson Moduleof Arson ModuleThe Arson Module may also be used:
• when the fire is under investigation, or in cases where the cause is “undetermined after investigation”.
• to document juvenile-set fires, whether determined to be intentional or not.

DefinitionsDefinitions
ORI–is the unique identification number assigned to law enforcement agencies participating in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system or the National Incident Based Reporting System (NBIRS).
FID –is a two-character identification number used by departments to submit crime data to UCR/NBIRS gathered by its dependent bureau/agencies.
– The ORI plus the FID and the incident number provide the necessary uniqueness to avoid the duplication of reported incidents.
