Juveniles cause $153,000
worth of damage in 1980
By Charlene Bell
Ot Mm fm«raM
About 20 percent of all reported arsons in
Eugene are set by children playing with
matches, according to a fire department
official.
Juvenile fire setters were the fourth most
common cause of fire for Eugene in 1980,
with 46 fires causing more than $153,000 in
damage
Deputy Fire Marshall Chuck Campbell, a
counselor who has worked with 37 juvenile
fire setters since last June, says the "old
dinosaur approach" of educating juveniles on
fires by showing them charred fire victims is
outmoded
Instead, he employs a softer approach —
firm, but with an emphasis on communication
among the juveniles, parents and counselors
A juvenile fire setter is sent to Campbell's
office for one of two reasons — the parents
discover the child setting fires in the home, or
the fire department requests counseling
following an investigation
Campbell says fire setting often is a family
problem, so he talks with the parents before
seeing the child Parents usually react with
panic or worry about the child's future or feel
a sense of parental failure when told that their
child may have set a fire, he says
Sometimes the talks bring out personal or
environmental pressures leading to the fire
setting, Campbell says
Personal pressures caused Jill, a
16-year-old local high school student, to set
fire to another student's locker recently She
was charged with first degree arson, a Class A
felony Talking with her mother, Campbell
learned Jill was having trouble adjusting to
her parents' divorce
Teenagers aren't the only fire setters
Scottie. 8, was jealous of his next door
playmate, who seemed to have an abundance
of toys, school honors and awards Last June
when his neighbors were not home, Scottie
entered the home, gathered all his playmate's
awards in the living room and set fire to
everything, causing damage to the structure
as well Campbell says Scottie s jealousy
wasn't centered on his playmate's awards —
Scottie was envious that his playmate, unlike
himself, has a father
“It s sad but true that little psychological
evaluation has been done on juvenile fire
setters The public is just now becoming
aware of the problem I feel the behavior
should be studied,” Campbell says
Campbell has his own theories about
juvenile fire setting He estimates that 95
percent of the juveniles he sees fall under two
headings — smaller children experimenting
with their environment or older children
seeking attention from an authority who will
define a 'limit' for their behavior The
remaining 5 percent always are a counseling
problem
Although Oregon law treats juveniles more
leniently than adults, juvenile fire setters can
find themselves in grown-up trouble
If a juvenile sets fire to a building that is
usually occupied, it is a Class A felony If the
building is rarely occupied, the charge is
second degree arson, a Class C felony
First degree murder may be charged if a
person dies as a result of the fire For fires
with little damage, the juvenile is charged with
"reckless burning," a misdemeanor
