Greece fires - arson?

[User1145]

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I'm not able to catch up with all threads. Fires possibly as a result of arson?

It wouldn't surprise me. A large number of Australian bushfires are started by an arsonist.

A colleague of mine has just come back from visiting his in laws in Greece, he said the general consensus between the locals is that it’s arson. How awful if it is :(

That is so terrible. In the same article it says 4 of the fires started simultaneously, which indicated arson. But why? Is anyone able to explain?

Because arseholes get a thrill out of the fire.

My understanding is that a lot of these fires are caused by farmers trying to burn the chaff off their fields rather than a deliberate attempt at criminal damage
