Psychiatric forensic entities that crystallize around fire are firesetting, arson, and pyromania. Even though they are distinct from one another, frequently, the terms are used interchangeably. Firesetting is a behavior that includes the intentional or accidental use of fire and often involves the negligent handling of firesetting materials. It may satisfy the curiosity of, cause amazement in, and/or express a possible underlying nonpsychotic mental condition in the firesetter. Often, juvenile impulsivity and a certain fascination with fire are at the basis of such behavior. Occasionally, drug use is present at the time of the offense. Most firesetters are not recidivistic. The importance and fascination with fire must have been present at the time of the ancient Greeks when the mythical Prometheus, driven by various motivations, stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mankind. Fire meant power, and the deed of Prometheus symbolized an act of justice: Man should possess fire because it was necessary for survival. Can it be this importance of fire that unconsciously attracts firesetters? Or is it its destructive powers or just the luminosity of the flames? The firesetter may not have criminal intent. On the contrary, arson and pyromania are criminal acts, usually willful and malicious. Arson is thought to be a general-intent crime, often committed by a single person at night, more often in cities than in suburban communities. In 2013, data covering periods from 1 to 12 months from 15,222 law enforcement agencies reported 44,840 arsons (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2014). While firesetters are generally young, curious, socially naive and superficial, inexperienced in handling firesetting materials, and often impulsive, with a tendency to resentment, arsonists, instead, are often mentally ill, socially isolated, introverted, with a past criminal history. At times, they suffer from schizophrenia or an intellectual disability. Because of their impulsive and compulsive type of behavior, they are also reported to suffer from intermittent explosive disorder or attention deficit disorder (Burton, McNiel, & Binder, 2012). Pyromania, instead, is a well-defined psychiatric condition. People who suffer from it are prone to intentional and pathological firesetting. Kraepelin called it impulsive insanity (Horley & Bowlby, 2011). Freud (1932), instead, felt it was a psychosexual disorder. It is a rare condition; only 3% to 6% of psychiatric inpatients meet the
