| Fire Prevention Week: | ||||||||||||||||||
| During Fire Prevention Week, firefighters visit local schools to teach children about fire safety. One lucky child's name will be drawn from a hat to become the Fire Chief For A Day. The Fire Chief For A Day will get to spend a day at the fire hall, get a ride on the fire trucks and be treated to dinner at the local McDonald's restaurant. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Juvenile Fire setter Intervention Program: | ||||||||||||||||||
| The Juvenile Fire setter Intervention Program is a program that was put together by the Fire Safety Advisory Council and the Office of the Fire Commissioner. Juvenile fire setting is a serious problem, regardless of the child's motivation for the fire start. Fire setting can begin at a very early age and may continue into adulthood. Recognizing juvenile fire setting early and taking appropriate corrective measures can greatly reduce the risk of future fire setting incidences. Prevention, education and intervention are keys to reducing the problem. Ladysmith Fire/Rescue Juvenile Fire setter Intervention Program can provide an avenue for all three. Any inquiries can be referred to the Ladysmith Fire Hall: 250-245-6436 | ||||||||||||||||||
