Extractions: Understanding what circumstances lead children to start fires and by following a few basic fire safety practices, you can reduce the chances of your children starting destructive fires. Curiosity about fire is part of a child's growth process, especially between the ages of 2 and 9. The majority of fires set by young children are set out of curiosity or experimentation. When children are bored and under no supervision, fires may happen. Matches and lighters should be locked up. Any child can be a potential firesetter. Firesetting behavior in some children is a way of expressing feeling of frustration, unhappiness and need. Punishment, discipline and "scare tactics" will not satisfy a child's curiosity about fire. The child may be angry over a divorce, a move or other crisis. They may be seeking revenge or using fire to send a message that they desperately need attention. Seminole County Fire Departments Juvenile Firesetters Intervention Program, which began in 1982, may be able to help curb undesirable behavior. Of course, there is no charge for the departments services, and all information is kept strictly confidential.

Extractions: Hands-on, Mobile Classroom Program Rationale Children learn most effectively through active participation, hands-on activity. When we can simulate or duplicate as close as possible a true-to-life environment or situation, it creates a more effective learning opportunity. Objectives Children learn to identify and avoid common fire and burn hazards; to develop burn-safe behaviors; proper fire escape and emergency reporting procedures; practical experience of crawling low beneath (theatrical) smoke to safely escape a house fire; and reporting an emergency. Description The Kids Fire Safety House is a mobile, child-scaled version of a 2-story private dwelling used to teach practical lessons in fire prevention and safety; sheltering and escaping; and reporting emergencies. The "house" has many features including temperature controlled heated doors, an operating 911 telephone system, and non-toxic smoke. Children take part in an educational tour of the house, which includes a practical drill of applying the lessons and techniques learned - when the theatrical smoke begins filling the house and the smoke alarms sound, children practice crawling low and exiting the home. Participating students receive a take-home activity booklet and materials that reinforce the lessons, and stimulate sharing of lessons with siblings and parents. Pre- and post-testing is used to evaluate the program's effectiveness and to determine what lessons the children learn and retain after the educational tour.
