The Youth Firesetter Intervention program provides a simple risk assessment for a youth to help understand their situation. It also provides fire safety education for the child and other family members.  Everything is confidential and intended to help keep the child and family safe from fire. This is not punitive program. Our goal is to help families learn about the dangers of fire setting and provide assistance and support to families with firesetter concerns.

If a child you care about is or has played with matches, lighters, fireworks, candles, has set a fire or has shown a curiosity of fire that worries you,  then it is the right time to educate them on fire safety.
