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.
