Each year across the nation billions of dollars worth of property and hundreds of lives are lost as a result of fires that are intentionally started by arsonist.  The City of Charlotte was not exempt from these losses, at least until January 9, 1985 when the Charlotte Fire Investigation Task Force was created.
