Juvenile Fire Setters

The Fire Marshal can help you address juvenile fire setting before it escalates into the harming of others. After being approached by concerned parents and talking with the child/children, the Fire Marshal can recommend that the child/children seek help from the Straight Talk Program () that is offered through the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and the Hurley Medical Center in Flint. This is a daylong, family-oriented program that helps with youth ages 8-17. To get a clearer understanding of burn injuries, attendees interact with burn patients. The goal of the program is to modify high-risk behavior and reduce the recurrence rate of adolescent fire experimentation. For more information, call the Fire Marshal at (248) 336-4131.
