In an effort to reduce the number of juvenile fire starter incidents, the Omaha Fire Department will provide a Juvenile Fire Starter (JFS) Education Program for juveniles and their families seeking help.
The education program for those 8-18 years of age teaches the power of fire, consequences of playing with fire, fire prevention and how to survive a fire. In addition, parents are provided information on building character in children, fire prevention and survival.
For children ages 3-7 the education program teaches fire safety based on The NFPA's The Learn Not To Burn Program. Parents are provided information on building character in children, fire prevention and survival.
