Starting a fire is technically not illegal. However, what would make it illegal is when it causes damage to properties and risk to people's lives. If you cause a fire that takes away people's lives and estates, then you will be charged with the crime of arson. That can put you into prison with a term depending on the extent of damage you have caused.

Some fires may be caused by accident. However, there are those fires that are caused with the actual intent of hurting others. The fire setters do it at their whim. They must be captured then so that they do not cause any more damage. The damage they cause cannot be overlooked, after all. To easily aid with the capture of these fire setters, it would be good to have the arsonist profile.

There are many types of firesetters. There are firesetters who are driven by curiosity. Some are driven by their problems and they want to escape. There are even those who think that starting a fire is something smart and cool. However, the one you should be the most familiar with would be a pathological firesetter.

In differentiating pathological fire setters from the others, you will usually find them in possession of a high IQ. They are mostly doing well in their academic learning and there are even some who are enrolled in renowned academic institution. On the other side of the coin, they can also have a history of a severe emotional problem.

At times, despite having high IQ, they might show problems in their academic abilities. If not their academic abilities, then it might be in their behavior that they are showing problems in. Most of the pathological firesetters will oftentimes have difficulty when it comes to establishing relationships with other people.

Their severe emotional problems are not the only ones that stop the pathological criminals from living the straight life. There are times when their criminal acts are being driven by their history of medical problems. This is mostly true when they are suffering from neurological problems, which can really affect people severely.

It might also be that they have become pathological firesetters due to past trauma. They are highly likely to have been a victim of physical abuse from the people in their family or from their peers. It might also be that these pathological firesetters have gone through sexual abuse, thus affecting their sound mind.

Most of the time, a pathological fire setter prefers to be a loner. They often keep to themselves no matter what and they either stop or limit the interactions they have with other people. With them being a loner, they also grow a life long fascination with fires. This can then lead to their desire to start a fire.

There are many other things you have to know about the pathological firesetters. Knowing about the pathological firesetters should be very helpful, especially if you are in the police force and is tasked to fight against firesetters. Being in the firefighting division should also require you to know more about the profiles of these firesetters. Knowing how these firesetters operate can help prevent any future accidents that can cause millions of losses to people and property.
