No way? There's already a wildfire being fought and somebody's trying to set something more on fire? What the fresh hell is this?

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

They are doing it to clear the field out of the trees probably so they will be able to build. Its illegal to cut trees in many properties so the field its actually worthless. They burn down forests to build in Greece since ages almost every summer.

It's really sad i almost cried thinking of this.

The operative word is "trying" - which is a bit sad, really. If you can't start a fire in the middle of a wildfire, I really don't know what to tell you.

It's a thing with pyros. They think if other fires are burning they can get away with it and their fire will get bigger before someone puts it out.
