Now this is mental!
I can remember in the 1970s when a serving firefighter was torching setting alight to farm buildings freshly filled with hay and straw crops in the summer. My family farm south New Forest Hampshire England was circled by police as we were a prime target. My father selling hay at the gate informed a buyer, a fireman wife that he and a friend were in waiting for him and word must have got to the fire set a lighter. The fireman would set alight to a barn just after pub closing. Then get the call to attend to put the fire out. The fireman was always the or one of to get to his station. Police finally luckily caught the fireman who was lighting the fires.
