Avon Fire & Rescue Service’s Firesetter Intervention Scheme

Our trained Firesetter Advisors work with children/young people and their parents/carers to increase awareness of the dangers and consequences of fire and establish a cause behind the actions.

The programme consists of one to three sessions which are decided on a case by case basis. The sessions are tailored to the individual needs and abilities of the child/young person. Each session lasts for around an hour and Parent/Carer involvement is crucial to the success of the programme.

Anyone can refer a child/young person to the Firesetter Intervention Scheme. Please note if you are not the legal guardian of the child you must seek parental consent to refer to the scheme.
