Assessment, preventive intervention, and interdisciplinary collaboration between the fire department and mental health services are highlighted as key factors in the identification and treatment of juvenile firesetters and their families. An interagency pilot program in New York City is described and the importance of "aggressive" outreach is emphasized.
