After 25 years of teaching dogs to sniff out an accelerant used to start fires, the State Farm/Arson Dog Program has trained more human and canine teams than other program in the country. On Tuesday, the skills of the New Hampshire State Fire Marshalโ€™s newest arson dog/handler team, Anthem and investigator Adam Fanjoy, were put to the test. The team graduated last month. As of March 2018, 89 arson dog teams were active throughout the U.S. and Canada.
