WHO PAYS? YOU

Fire-setting Can we stop fire setting behaviour?

Why the fire service? FIRE SETTING

‘Types of Firesetters’ Curiosity/play Attention seeking Angry/revengeful School firesetter/arsonist Delinquent Mentally disturbed

Curiosity /Play firesetter is a child usually a boy, who has got ‘into’ fireplay behaviour and has become habituated to it. The fires are lit with matches or lighters from an early age. (2 -10 yrs)

Attention seekers- firesetting is designed to gain attention and to cause visual impact rather than damage. Eg - small waste-bin fire, setting fire to curtains esp when people are present. “Cry for help”. Can usually be successfully addressed quite quickly.

School Firesetter/Arsonist Obviously a particular threat to schools. Young person develops a grudge against the school or specific teacher, and with each successive punishment they receive, the probability of gaining “revenge” increases.

Angry/Revengeful may not have a history of fireplay and/or firesetting behaviour. May have happened by ‘chance’ as a means of resolving an angry feeling. One teenager may resolve his anger by smashing a plate glass window an other may do it by starting a fire. However, behaviour becomes associated with feeling of satisfaction, to be repeated as a way of resolving similar angry feelings.

Angry/Revengeful

Delinquent Firesetters; may be using fire to cover up other crimes, and is essentially more of a career criminal with a firesetting component.

Mentally disturbed this is a minority group, mainly older teenagers or adults. Usually have a fixation on fire and develop into career arsonists. Very dangerous type of firesetter.

PYROMANIAC Label rather than explanation, could be described as a syndrome with an obsessive- compulsive need to set fires.
