JFLIP is delivered by career firefighters trained in this program.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.JFLIP uses basic social learning and behavioural principles such as positive reinforcement (praise for understanding of fire safety messages), self-efficacy (the child becomes the home fire safety officer) and stimulus control (parents keeping matches and lighters where the child can’t reach them).JFLIP is an educational program about fire safety.Participation in JFLIP is voluntary and family-based – the child and their parents/guardians and other family members are actively involved in the program.JFLIP is an early intervention program designed to prevent further firelighting.It is suitable for children who light fires, usually out of experimentation, curiosity or fascination with fire.JFLIP is designed for primary school-aged children and their families.Every body in the house should know what to do if there is a fire – have a family escape plan and practice it.Have working smoke alarms in all the bedrooms and the hall outside bedrooms.Lead by example – reduce the risk of fire by using fire, cooking, heating and electricity safely.If you are a smoker, think about giving up, smokers are more likely to have children who light fires. Teach your children to bring you any unattended matches or lighters they find and reward them for their honesty.Lock away matches and lighters – just like you lock away medicines and other dangerous household substances.Teach your children facts about fire safety and the consequences of fire.
