Is proud to recognize our local firefighters for their dedication to the community Acknowledging the seriousness of the firesetting problem, the OFM, in cooperation with several communityâ€" based government agencies and the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, has Furthermore, few of these proâ€" grams have involved formal working relationships between agencies within the public and private sectors who have a special expertise or interest in youthful firesetting. This translates into losses of milâ€" lions of dollars and immeasurable grief and suffering for the children and their families. Despite the apparâ€" ent seriousness of youthful firesetting, the OFM discovered that few firesetâ€" ting intervention programs were availâ€" able to address this problem.

It is estimated that over 50% of incendiary fires investigated by the OFM are motivated by mischief or vandalism and are started predomiâ€" nantly by young people. n Hagersville, a disastrous tire fire was started by four teenagers. It burned continuously for 17 days and required Ontario‘s first provincial emergency response team to extinguish it.
