WHY??????
One reason may be that he gets to keep his job all summer,every summer,and or he has mental health problems,arsonists get an adrenaline kick from the catastrophe that they personally had the ability to cause making themselves in turn feel important with impressive abilities.
The reason why some fire fighters turn arsonists is most likely that they want to be first to fight the fire and shine with their performance.
Sadly it is neither the first time nor will it be the last time.
