Who do I contact if my child is playing with fire?

Unfortunately some children will show an interest in fire and fire setting. Because this is a serious issue that can have severe consequences that children might not realize, we encourage parents to become involved as soon as possible. Contact Division Chief Rick Russell at 317-776-6336 x1413 to schedule a private meeting with you and your child. Division Chief Russell is trained in identifying at-risk children and fire education and prevention. If you know of a child who shows an interest in starting fires and/or playing with fire, please contact the Fire Department. Early intervention is extremely important and may save loss of life and property from a fire started by a child playing with fire.
