Firesetters

Like a moth to a flame. All children express a natural curiosity about fire. However, sometimes this curiosity goes too far and someone gets hurt, or property is lost. Juvenile fire starting has become the leading arson problem in the United States – and the problem is growing, even in Brighton . In conjunction with the Children’s Hospital of Denver and the Fire Safety Educators of Colorado, GBFPD has adopted the Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Specialist program taught at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg , MD. All of our team members are certified by the State of Colorado and receive on-going training throughout the year. If you think your child’s curiosity about fire might be excessive, or if you just have a question, contact "Dawn Blunt" at District Headquarters for more information about this free and totally confidential program. In most cases, fire safety education is all that is indicated.
