Who are juvenile fire-setters?

• A. Young individuals who intentionally set fires, often requiring intervention and education.
• B. A type of extinguishing technique.
• C. A type of firefighting equipment.
• D. An inspection report.

Answer: (A)

Juvenile fire-setters are young individuals who intentionally start fires and often need intervention and education to address underlying causes and prevent recurrence. This focuses on people and prevention, not on firefighting techniques, equipment, or paperwork. Recognizing them helps responders connect at-risk youth with fire-safety education, counseling, and appropriate referrals to prevention programs, aiming to reduce future incidents rather than just addressing current fires.
