They cause arson intentionally

Did you know that there are firefighters who cause arson intentionally? They set homes and forests on fire because for different reasons. According to statistics, more than 100 firefighters are arrested for arson every year in the United States. Investigators believe that they do this crime because they want validation and appreciation, and this way, people will see them as heroes, while others just want to test their abilities to fight fires.
