Overview FESA's Juvenile and Family Fire Awareness program (JAFFA) is a well-respected firefighter intervention program for children that have been involved in firelighting. It is unique in terms of its consequence-based approach to education and is the only program in Australia to provide a free service run by volunteers. JAFFA aims to minimise the loss of life, injury, property and environmental damage caused by juvenile arson through conducting education sessions with juveniles aged 6 to 16 years involved in fire lighting. The program assists juveniles to understand the dangers of fire-play and alerts them to the potential legal consequences. Referrals for the program are received from parents, firefighters, juvenile justice teams and other agencies. The program is facilitated by a JAFFA Coordinator and delivered by JAFFA Support Officers (a small team of specially trained firefighters). In 2011, 68 JAFFA referrals were received and completed. The JAFFA program has been reviewed several times since its inception in 1989. In October 2010 FESA's Community Engagement Directorate was restructured to include a permanent full-time JAFFA Coordinator position. This role was previously filled by a Community Safety Coordinator who had a number of other responsibilities, limiting the development of the JAFFA program. Since the appointment of a full-time Coordinator the program has seen a comprehensive review resulting in minor changes to the scope of the program, the implementation of an evaluation process to assess recidivism rates, and the development of new resources to engage families and young people.
