Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 Education & Training

Experts say Florida leads the nation in staged auto accidents, and investigators are working to stay on top of one particularly dangerous form of insurance fraud: arson. Monday, firefighters and investigator set a car on fire, on purpose, to study how to spot claims that could be arson. The training drill took place at the St. Petersburg Fire Department Training Facility. Crews set a small blaze in that engulfed the car in less than two minutes. (Watch video in the player above.)
