Which program targets youth who have started fires?

• A. Stop, Drop and Roll
• B. Youth Firesetters
• C. Learn Not to Burn
• D. Exit Drills in the Home

Answer: (B)

The concept here is identifying a program designed for youth who have shown fire‑setting behavior. The program that fits this need is specifically aimed at youths who have started fires, providing assessment, counseling, and targeted interventions to reduce the likelihood of repetition and address underlying factors such as curiosity, impulse control, family dynamics, or emotional distress. It often involves coordination with schools, families, and mental health or behavioral professionals to tailor strategies that keep students safe and help redirect their behavior. In contrast, the other programs are general in nature: one teaches what to do if clothing catches fire and basic fire safety for broad populations; another delivers broad fire safety and burn prevention education to children and families; and the last focuses on practicing home escape procedures. They don’t target youths who have already engaged in fire-setting in the focused, intervention-oriented way that Youth Firesetters programs do.
