Blaze is his name, and arson is his game! The Alabama Forestry Commission is pleased to announce that Blaze the Arson Dog is officially on duty. A one-year-old bloodhound, Blaze will be used to track those persons that commit wildland arson. This is great news for Alabama because over the last three years, arson was responsible for 42 percent of all wildland fires. According to Craig Hill, Chief of the AFC Law Enforcement Section, "Blaze is a welcomed addition to our investigative team. His ability to sniff out specific scents will enable us to track arson suspects back to their homes. Most wildland arsonists live within two to three miles of where they set fires."
