The Youth Fire Setter Intervention Program is a nationwide standardized program to provide prevention education/intervention and referrals, if warranted, for the children and families of Daphne to reduce the frequency and severity of fires set by youths. Partnering with the fire service, this program provides a coordinated referral center for the assessment and treatment of youth fire setters and their families, thereby slowing down the often devastating results of fire setting. Prevention education can help the youth fire problem but only when properly targeted, designed, and delivered. The behaviors causing the problem must be considered, for what motivates a youth's behavior is the surest clue to solving the youth fire setting problem.
