Students often ask us for school or class projects ideas about juvenile firesetting. Juvenile firesetting is an excellent topic because it is a huge problem in almost every community across the United States. The list below has some ideas for topics or activities that can help stop juvenile firesetting.

• Make a fire-safety coloring book.
