Programs

Juvenile Fire Setter Program This program is designed to discover what motivates a child caught playing with matches/fire. The notion is that if we discover the motivation, the appropriate intervention can be planned and implemented. The intervention is usually parental conducted education or professional counseling. There are those times when both intervention means are used. We have had tremendous success with this program in the past.

Learn Not To Burn This program was originally conducted by the fire dept in the local school district. It was taught in the fifth grade classes at each school. In recent years we have implemented a newer version of the program that is taught by the teachers in the Kindergarten through third grade classes within the school district. The fire safety information and curriculum is incorporated into the basic educational curriculum for the particular grade level.

Life Safety Fire Inspections These inspections are conducted routinely by the Fire Department and cover the general business sector. Virtually all buildings that may have public allowed into them are inspected for fire safety on a periodic basis. The purpose is to identify hazardous situations, have them corrected and teach the occupants how to avoid poor situations in the future. This same concept is applied to residential property if requested.
