Juvenile Fire-Stop Program

The White River Township Fire Department offers a Juvenile Fire-Stop Program staffed by nationally certified Juvenile Firesetter Interventionists.

If your child has been involved in setting a fire, has been playing with fire, or shows an extreme curiosity about fire, early intervention is critical. Our trained personnel can help identify risks and provide education to prevent future incidents.

Parents or guardians may contact department headquarters to schedule an interview that will begin the screening and education process.

Early intervention plays a vital role in preventing injury, loss of property, and long-term unsafe behaviors.

Please call Headquarters today at 317-888-8337 to learn more or schedule an appointment.
