Juvenile Firesetters Program

Have I failed as a parent if my child misuses fire?

If we come to the Fire Department for help with our firesetter, will our insurance go up?

I'm constantly finding evidence of fire use by my 6-year-old. We've talked about it and forbidden the behavior yet he continues with it. Is something wrong with him?

Is it possible that my child is a pyromaniac?

My child is a teenager, yet we have caught him several times using fire inappropriately. Is this experimentation or should I be concerned?

So, if fire use is normal, will my child grow out of it?

What kind of children experiment with fire?
