      Well, as far as I can determine from the article this wasn’t a deliberate attempt like the guy in Quebec. Every year some amount of forest fires are started by some asshole who didn’t do a proper job of putting their fire out or throwing a lit cigarette butt into dry brush or something like that. Based on the charges I’m thinking this is one of those cases.

        Yeah that’s my bad, I was still waking up and misunderstood. Tried to delete my post but Eternity isn’t cooperating… So everyone just ignore my last comment, please!

      Doesn’t seem like this one was deliberate based on the charges, but it was on private land which is interesting. Starting a forest fire on accident is still stupid as fuck, but at least it isn’t straight up evil like doing it on purpose. He still deserves the book, though.
