Fire bug Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. A Firebug could also be

referred to as a pyromaniac. Somebody that has a mental problem that they just

love to start fires. Okay. This is someone who enjoys setting fires just for the

fun of it. A Fire bug gets a thrill to watch fires burn. So that's what a

Fire bug actually is. Okay. Let's continue with the note here. Bug by itself means

to have a strong sudden enthusiasm for something. So you could say somebody's

got a bug for something. This is a common one. We sometimes might say travel bug. So

I gave one example of that. That backpacker caught the travel bug. So if

he went somewhere and he started traveling and then he loved it and he's

got to go back and got to travel again and again and again and he wants to just

keep going to more and more places. You say he caught... somebody caught the travel

bug or really could be anybody as long as they they love their trips and they

just want to keep making many many other trips. We say somebody caught a travel

bug. So you can kind of put it together. You can kind of figure out why we say

fire bug. Okay now this this has nothing to do with the bug that actually can

light up. That's actually called a Firefly. But a fire bug is somebody that

really just loves to set fires. Okay let's continue. All right. Therefore a

fire bug has a lot of enthusiasm for watching things burn. This is different

from the word arsonist. An arsonist is someone who starts illegal fires but it

may not be for excitement. So technically a fire bug you know, they are mostly

starting fires illegal. So in most cases fire bugs really are arsonists as well.

But an arsonist may not be a fire bug. He may have very different reasons for

starting the fire. He may not like it. He may not like watch ... to watch things burn

at all. So let's continue. The reasons... All right. So

there may be other reasons such as insurance fraud. That's a common reason

why sometimes fires are started. Somebody took out insurance and they thought this

is a good way to make money. They had a fire start. Or possibly they paid someone

to start the fire. Maybe they didn't do it themselves. So that could be another

reason why an arsonist starts a fire. Somebody paid him to start this fire.

It could also be related again to the insurance fraud. To do it or possibly a

revenge crime. Somebody maybe they have an enemy. They hate this person. They, they

want to start this fire to hurt someone. You know maybe not necessarily to kill

them, but maybe you know to damage their property or something. In that case

that's another reason somebody could be an arsonist. So an arsonist starts

illegal fires but an arsonist may not be a fire bug. Okay. All right. And here's a

couple of examples. Which we might use with fire bug. All right. So example number

one. When that mother discovered her son was a fire bug, she decided to bring him

to a psychiatrist for help. Yeah. This is terrible. There are cases like this. Where

fire bugs sometimes just start very young. Sometimes it's like a young kid

that might be the first time that he starts a fire. Okay. Let's look at number

two here. That fire inspector thinks this recent series of fires... so maybe

inspecting a number of fires. May have been set by a fire bug. So maybe he's

suspicious because maybe he can't find any of the reasons why these fires may have

been set. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.

Bye-bye.
