The Juvenile Firesetter Package contains everything needed to teach fire safety and prevention to young people.

The dangers of fire are illustrated in the two videos contained in this package. The first video, Striking Out With Matches, teaches young people to respect fire. Lessons in fire safety are taught through a fictional young boy who learns about fire with his life. Three lessons are taught in this film: never play with matches and lighters, never remove batteries from a smoke alarm and never enter a burning building. This video helps students realize the importance of firefighters and everyone’s role in fire prevention, which provides them with the information they need to understand the importance of never playing with fire, essentially keeping them out of harms way.

In the second movie, In A Flash: The Consequences of Youth Firesetting, students learn that playing with matches can affect his/her life forever. The true story of a young boy who played with fire and lost is illustrated in this video. Testimonies from the burn victim, his family, neighbors, and health care professionals allow the audience to empathize with the emotional and physical pain endured by the survivor. Also shown in this video are the legalities of juvenile firesetting. The illustration of consequences assists in preventing young people from playing with fire.

The facts presented in aforementioned videos are supported with various materials including -- Striking Out With Matches and Lighters Teen 'Zine, Don’t Get Burned Pamphlet, and the Fire Safe Friends Juvenile Firesetter Intervention and Prevention Activity Sheet. Instructors use the Juvenile Firesetter Intervention and Prevention Instructor’s Guide to help identify and prevent juvenile firesetting. This 94-page manual is part of the Fire Watch program and is a must have for any fire prevention curriculum. The reproducible handouts make the book time saving and cost effective allowing you to have the needed information at your fingertips at all times.
