Playing
with Fire |
Information for Parents and Carers |
Is your child curious about fire? |
Children are naturally drawn to the warmth and light of fire. Many
children play with matches and lighters and set fires out of curiosity.
The most effective intervention for curious children is fire safety
education.
Within our communities there exists a constant threat from young
people who play with fire. Many young people start to play with fire
for various reasons, ranging from natural curiosity through to attention
seeking.
Without help and guidance firesetting behaviour can increase,
and will lead to more serious consequences, such as major injuries
and damage to our homes, schools and property.
