Curious Kids Set Fires
Children under five are curious about fire. Often what begins as a natural exploration of the unknown can lead to tragedy.
|
|
Children of all ages set over 35,000 fires annually. Approximately 8,000 of those fires are set in homes. |
|
|
Children make up 15-20% of all fire deaths. |
|
|
At home, children usually play with fire in bedrooms, in closets and under beds. These are "secret" places where there are a lot of things that catch fire easily. |
|
|
Too often, child firesetters are not given proper guidance and supervision by parents and teachers. Consequently, they repeat their firesetting behavior. |
