FCCJA Department Of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Practice Exam

Which of the following is included under Arson of Dwelling House?

Occupied hotel Bridge Vehicle Public park

Correct Answer:

Vehicle

Explanation:

The key idea is that arson of a dwelling house covers burning a structure that people actually live in. A dwelling isn’t limited to a traditional house; it includes places used as a residence, even if they’re mobile. A vehicle qualifies when it’s being used as a residence—think of someone living in a car or in an RV, where people sleep and make a home. The other options aren’t dwellings: a bridge or a public park aren’t structures used for habitation, and while an occupied hotel is a lodging place, the exam’s framing emphasizes that a vehicle used as a dwelling fits the category of arson of a dwelling house.
