One of the most frequent causes of fires in the home is children playing with fire. Children are naturally curious about fire and its properties, but this curiosity can become unhealthy and dangerous. In some cases, a child may light fires for reasons other than curiosity. That is why Bellevue's Youth Fire Setting Intervention and Prevention Program was created.
Through Fire Stoppers, trained Fire Department personnel meet with the child and his or her parents, and teach the child about the dangers of fire. If you are a concerned parent, contact the Community Risk Reduction Specialist today at (425) 452-7881.
