Education is the Key to Prevention. These places are often under the bed and in closets. Juvenile firesetters are often not given the proper education and guidance from their parents. The Gurnee Fire Department has an excellent program in place to work with children after there has been an incident involving a child playing with fire. Parents will be given signs of juvenile firesetting behavior.
Fire is a big influence in all of our lives.
It is used for heating, cooking, and celebrations. Birthday parties are a good example of fires used for a celebration. Through our program, you will be better equipped to enforce positive behavior. If you or your group would like to hear more about this important and informative class, please contact the Gurnee Fire Department Fire Prevention Bureau at 263-2250 to schedule an appointment. Do not leave them alone even for short periods of time.
