YOUTH FIRESETTER INTERVENTION |
||
Fireplay
or Firesetting? Parents are encouraged to learn key danger signs if their child has shown an interest in starting fires. If your child is exhibiting fire setting behavior, you and your family are at a higher risk. The odds double that you will experience a fire in your home if this situation exists. The goal of a fire prevention coalition is to decrease firesetting behaviors through prevention education. The Missouri State Fire Marshal's Office is striving to establish several trained teams throughout the state to ensure parents and educators have accessibility to such a valuable resource. It is not designed or intended to discipline a child or to place a child into the courts system. The Youth Firesetter Intervention training program is
available through the Missouri Youth Fire Safety Coalition and the Division of Fire
Safety. For further information or to set up a training program, please contact the:
