Public Education
Juvenile Firesetter Program
This is a state-wide program that local Police and Fire Department members use to help those juveniles who are involved with starting fires. The program involves fire safety education and counseling for children between the ages of 3 through 14 years old. The United States Fire Administration reports that between 25 and 40 per cent of all fires are set by children within this age group.
If you have a juvenile fire-setter problem, we have trained firefighter/intervention specialists who will handle this matter confidentially. Do not delay getting help for this problem! Call (847) 945-4066 or Contact Us.
FIRE STATION TOUR
The Fire Department opens its doors for station tours for groups of all ages. The tour consists of a look at where the firefighters live and work and the emergency apparatus used to respond to an emergency. One highlight of the tour is a walkthrough of Sparky's Fire Safety House, where the group learns about household hazards that are commonly found within the homes of today. To schedule a group tour, please contact the Bureau of fire Prevention for availability and reservations.

"LEARN NOT TO BURN" SAFETY PROGRAM"
The Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District was awarded the first official "Learn Not to Burn" Champion award in 1993, from the National Fire Protection Association. This school based program involved children in pre-school through 3rd grade level. Teachers and firefighters teamed up to instruct the students on as many as fourteen (14) fire safety behaviors. Presently the program is taught within the Deerfield School District #109.
