Sean's Story Testimonials
"I received the DVD Sean's Story: My Life Torn Apart by Firesetting
in the mail yesterday, and it is wonderful! I am so appreciative...for
what you are doing, and have been doing for many years, to help raise
awareness to the growing issue of youth and fire play.
I have been using the DVD In An Instant: Fire Injury Prevention
as part of my Youth Firesetting Intervention Program since it came
available, and it has been a HUGE asset in my toolbox! This video has
touched more lives, not only the kids that I work with but their parents
and caregivers, than you can imagine.
I hope you will convey to everyone there that people like myself all
over the United States are very thankful for their hard work and
dedication in helping to prevent the devastation caused by fire play.
The majority, if not all, fire departments have extremely tight budgets
and are not able to afford to purchase DVD's of this quality, and even
more amazing is the fact that you're even providing the materials to go
along with it for free! I'm sure I wasn't the only educator doing the
"happy dance"!"
