many of the arson fires in CA in the last couple years were started by firefighters. It's crazy.

But I'd suggest that many fires ignited by humans were through accident; ignorance or lack of care. Thing like bbqs, power tools etc start many of our bushfires. Arsonists are fairly few and far between and they receive the full force of the law when they are caught.
