Many D.C.-Area Vehicular Arson Cases Difficult to Solve

Washington, D.C.-area fire departments are grappling with hundreds of deliberately set car fires each year, according to a review by the News4 I-Team. A large number of those fires are never prosecuted, while some are never solved. State and city fire department records and databases obtained by the I-Team show more than 200 intentionally set car fires in Virginia since 2012, including dozens in Fairfax County. State fire officials do not have information on how many of those cases were prosecuted.
