Juvenile Fire-Setters Education

One of the largest causes of fires in the home is children playing with fire. Children are naturally curious about fire and its properties, but this curiousity can become unhealthy and dangerous. In some cases, a child may light fires for reasons other than curiousity. That is why our J.F.E. program was created.

Our J.F.E. program allows for individual sessions to be conducted with the child, his or her parents, and trained fire department personnel. Our goal is to educate the child about the dangers of fire. Occasionally, referrals are received from the juvenile court system or the police department. If you are a concerned parent, you can also request a J.F.E. session for your child.

If you think that your child may have a problem with fire or have any questions about the program, contact our Fire Prevention Bureau to schedule a J.F.E. session.
