In 1999, the National Association of State Fire Marshals received a grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which culminated in the development of nationwide workshops designed to help communities intervene with children who play with and/or set fires. The purpose of this article is to describe the content of these multidisciplinary workshops including a comprehensive overview of fireplay and firesetting among youth in the United States. Strategies for assessing and intervening with these children and their families within a community-based framework are discussed, and implications for nursing practice and research are highlighted.

Key Words: juvenile firesetting • fireplay • interdisciplinary interventions • National Association of State Fire Marshals
