    Things like this happen at least once a year in my home town. There was even a rumour that there might be a clandestine team of people for hire, kind of a pyromaniac version of the A-Team.

    Whether or not that’s true, a few years back a then-recently-sold building had some pyromaniacs pay a visit, but they were careless and were seen and reported by people in neighbouring buildings.

    The building survived virtually unscathed. And it has sat unused by the purchaser and undoubtedly watched by nearby buildings’ CCTV since then.

    There have been others fires elsewhere since then (I can think of a tyre yard that went up for suspicious reasons), but nothing in particularly well populated areas that I can recall.
