FIRE SMART
The FIRE SMART program is an educational intervention program designed to educate
parents and children about fire safety and the consequences of fire. Each family
meets individually with a trained fire service educator. The educator discusses
the situation with the family, and recommend education or counseling. Educational
services are free. Financial assistance with counseling may be available.
What is Firesetting?
Anyone who cares about the safety of a child can call for help. Families, friends,
neighbors, teachers and you. For more information please contact the Independence
Fire Prevention Bureau and ask about the FIRE SMART program.
Remember, it is important to take the early sighs of fire setting seriously. Fire
Department personnel have been trained to assess firesetting behaviors, provide
fire safety education, and to recommend additional assistance if needed.
