It turns out that that the fire (which apparently damaged sixty-four units) was set intentionally by a 36 year-old man. His story is that he was tired of the stairwell clutter and just wanted to demonstrate the danger. So he set the fire on purpose but intended it to remain small.
It reminds me of The Simpsons, where Bart explains that he wants to go home, and adds, “and besides, I started a fire this morning that I really should keep an eye on.”
Apparently the arsonist doesn’t even live in the building, so his excuse is doesn’t make any sense. Besides, he’s been indicted for arson previously. He’s in jail, and faces stiff charges.
