Juvenile Fire Setters

Frequently we receive requests to assist a family with a child that is obsessed with fire. This may range from building a camp fire without adult supervision to intentionally setting articles on fire in the home. Historically, these occurrences were attributed to “children playing with matches” however; the reality is that this can be an outlet for other issues. Utilizing a program specifically developed by the National Fire Academy we team the child with a professional counselor from the Alternative Community Resource Program. This partnership provides the appropriate level of assistance for family’s that endure this difficult and potentially tragic situation.
