One quick search on wildfire arsonist profilers. Quick quote of first link despite many more links.

But for investigators and homeowners alike, the most perverse category of wildfire arsonist are the firefighters themselves.

The most celebrated case was John Orr, an arson sleuth for the Glendale, Calif., fire department serving a life sentence for setting a 1984 hardware store blaze that killed four people.

He also was convicted of conducting a remarkable arson campaign that damaged 67 homes along with open land. He was arrested after penning a novel, "Points of Origin," depicting a firefighter who torched a hardware store and other businesses for sexual pleasure.

In 2002, firefighters were responsible for two of the nation's largest wildfires.

In Arizona, Leonard Gregg, a contract firefighter, was sent to a prison hospital for a psychiatric evaluation after being charged with setting the Rodeo fire in the state's rugged eastern mountains. At its worst, the inferno spread 50 miles wide; one local fire chief described it as "walking down the aisles of hell." Containing it cost public agencies $43 million.

Prosecutors said Gregg confessed to setting fire to dry grass in hopes of earning $8 an hour to extinguish the flames for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

In Colorado, former Forest Service seasonal worker Terry Barton pleaded guilty to starting the Hayman Fire, which consumed 137,000 acres southwest of Denver and destroyed 133 homes.
