Worried about a child or young persons behaviour around fire?

Fire Safety Intervention

Children and young people who have displayed fire setting behaviour or a fire fascination can receive free intervention from Herts Fire & Rescue.

If you are concerned about a child or young person that has a fascination with fire, you can refer to the scheme. We will accept referrals from parents / guardians or any concerned agency, however intervention can only take place with parental consent.

Signs of regular fire-setting:

• Small burn holes in carpets and / or furniture
• Charred paper in sinks or bins
• Matches or lighters hidden in bedrooms, school bag or coat
• An unusual fascination with fire
• Unexplained fires in the home

Early intervention is key.
