Children, Fire, and Intervention

"The author, Kathleen L. Stone, does the research for you and delivers an easy to understand, step-by-step how to create an intervention program ... You could give this book to anyone ... social worker, firefighter, parent or fire chief and by using the resources and following the lesson plan they could deliver a well-planned and effective intervention in no time." Russell Kaleiwahea, Fire Chief West Thurston Regional Fire Authority The task of organizing and implementing a Youth Firesetter Intervention program may at times seem overwhelming. There will always be more to learn; new information continues to advance in the field of arson and youth fire setting. One thing, however, remains the same ... every time a child sets a fire they put themselves and others in danger. Fire can cause serious damage, injuries, and death. One out of every three children that die in a fire started the fire themselves You and your program could well be what makes the difference in the lives of these youth, their families, and their community.
