New figures have shown that almost three-quarters of all blazes attended by firefighters in Wales in the period 2007-08 were started deliberately.
There were also 31 deaths due to fire during the year.
The figures from the Local Government Data Unit have been collated to give the public a snapshot of the challenges facing firefighters in Wales.
Firefighters attended 24,631 blazes across Wales in the 2007-08 period and 73% had been started on purpose, the Local Government Data Unit found.
