NH dept. receives grant aimed at arson prevention

AMHERST, N.H. — Reaching youth who have intentionally set fires or are at risk of committing acts of arson is the aim of a program created through the Northwestern District Attorney’s office.

To expand the efforts of the Northwestern Juvenile Fire Intervention Response, Education and Safety Partnership, or NoFIRES coalition, the Amherst Fire Department has obtained a $2,100 grant that will be used to purchase a laptop, DVDs and LCD projector so the program can be taken on the road.

The grant award was presented at the central fire station Thursday afternoon.
