We offer a free programme to assist where young people are showing a fascination about fire.
The Ahikura programme has a 90% success rate in ending fire-setting behaviour. It can be directed to known fire-setters or to school groups if you don't know who is lighting the fires.
For further advice see our guide to what to do if your child is lighting fires.
