Welcome! The Resources & Research section of our site has been designed to be a resource for fire safety education, juvenile firesetting prevention & intervention, and injury prevention. The Resources & Research pages have been organized to (1) serve as quick reference pages for our site users to find the resources we feel would be of particular interest to them and (2) to make available all of the resources we have found to be most useful in the development of our programs and material.

Please visit these pages to find resources we feel would be of particular interest to you whether you are a(n):

• Early childhood educator/childcare provider
• Fire service/juvenile justice professional
• Parent/grandparent/caregiver
• Mental health/social services professional

We also invite you to browse through the Complete List of Resources which we have found most helpful in the development of our educational materials and community workshops. They are organized into the following categories (some resourses may be listed in more than one category if they are relevant):

• Unintentional Injuries
• Children & Fire
• Older Adults & Injury

Our Research Studies page includes references and brief descriptions of the research studies we cite most frequently in our materials and training.

Misperception of Fire Risk presents statistics from surveys of Americans' perception of their risk from fire along with data for actual risk.

In our Writer's Guide to Fire and Arson, veteran firefighter and Cause and Origin investigator Bob Crandall answers some of the most interesting questions he's gotten from writers who want to get the details right.

Check back often – we frequently add new resources we find useful. If you have suggested additions, comments or questions please contact us.
