Sigh. I guess I knew that.
From BBC News:
Quote:
"It's a huge field which has been inadequately researched," says Adam Brett, a forensic psychiatrist in Western Australia, who has specialist knowledge of the arson.
"All fires start with a small fire and the consequences are not always anticipated," says Dr Brett.
"There are subtypes of people who light fires, from people covering up crimes, to people who are expressing their pain to people who light fires due to mental illness. There are very few people who light fires for the fun of it.
"Then there is a group of hero firefighters - people who light fires so they can put them out."
