The Youthful Firesetter Program, FIREBUSTERS,
is a program designed to make contact with children that have a curiosity with
fire. The program was established to provide intervention from an educational
point of view. Through an interview process information is gathered to estimate
a child’s level of curiosity. Once the level of curiosity is established a
basis of education can be executed. The FIREBUSTERS program is a positive
educational experience many times, not only educating the child, but educating
the other family members as well. The education heightens the awareness all
members of the family to the importance of fire safety and the importance of a
functioning smoke detector.
