Most deliberate firres involve grassland or rubbish and refuse, but some incidents included vehicles and buildings.
Although deliberate fire setting dropped by a third across Scotland in Spring last year, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service says there is no room for complacency.
The national service mobilised firefighters to a total of 2,491 incidents of deliberate fire-raising between March and April 2020 compared to 3,658 incidents in 2019 – a 32 per cent reduction.
The figures were released as the service launched its annual Spring Safety campaign.
Deputy Assistant Chief Officer Alasdair Perry, SFRS Head of Prevention and Protection, said: “While any reduction in the number of deliberate fires is welcomed, we simply cannot be complacent.
