On average, how many fires are started by firefighters annually?

You would think with the amount of effort that goes into extinguishing fires, the extensive damage to structures and property that they cause, and the devastating loss of life that often accompanies a major blaze, that starting a fire would be the last thing a firefighter would ever consider. Not so. There is a certain percentage of serial arsonists who actually become firefighters just for the thrill of being involved in putting the flames down and getting paid for the pleasure.
