Curious vs Troubled Fire Setters

When teaching kids about Fire Safety, it is helpful to understand how different children will respond to the topic. If you ever see a child playing with fire, it is likely for one of two reasons. They either are curious fire setters or troubled fire setters. This means they could just be curious and want to learn or they are doing it because of a stressful incident.
