</span> </p> <p><span class="s1"></span> </p> <p><span class="s1">Intentional fires are a serious issue in the U.S., with an estimated average of 261,330 intentional fires from 2010-2014 causing annual losses of 440 civilian deaths and $1 billion in direct property damage. (Campbell, 2017) Of this number of intentional fires, structure fires accounted disproportionately for 87% of civilian fires and 86% of direct property damage, despite constituting only 19% of all intentional fires. (Campbell, 2017)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Hence, this paper seeks to address two structural fire causes that are problematic in the community, and identify the associated risks, education targets, education program structure, fire prevention objectives, message, community partners and evaluation metrics associated with these two structural fire causes. The two causes that will be addressed are fires started in homes out of fireplay and curiosity (which also constitute 24% of intentional fire causes nationally), and fires started in educational institutions for arson purposes. (Campbell, 2017)</span></p> <p><span class="s1"></span> </p> <p><span class="s1">Foremost, in terms of fires started in homes out of fireplay and curiosity, the cause is primarily an individual risk. Often, lone individuals may start fires for reasons of curiosity or play.
