The Orange County Fire Authority has developed a juvenile firesetter intervention program with the assistance of many agencies affected by this serious problem. We hope to expand to the other 10 fire agencies in Orange County soon. The Risk Category determines which path of treatment the child and family is offered.
All families receive follow-up care at appropriate intervals.
Any case which requires it, receives the attention of the juvenile justice system, which is a basic component of our program, along with a community service module. This program is modular in design and does not require much funding to implement and does not require sustained funding to run. Even without the support of a behavioral health care provider, fire department personnel can recognize when a family needs professional care and refer them.
