Abstract
This manual is designed for three audiences: [1] Fire departments that have a juvenile firesetter program for children under 7 and want to expand their program to include older youths; [2] Fire departments that have ongoing fire prevention and education programs for children and want to develop a juvenile firesetter component, and; [3] Fire departments that have an active arson prevention program and want to add a juvenile firesetter component. While the manual is designed for fire professionals, the information would also be useful to other groups (e.g., teachers, probation officers, burn care personnel, community groups) who work with children and adolescents.
