Scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Sarah plans to set fire to an abandoned factory in her neighborhood as an act of rebellion. She sneaks into the factory at night and attempts to ignite the gasoline-soaked debris she arranged earlier. Despite several attempts, the dampness of the debris prevents the fire from catching, leaving Sarah frustrated and unable to fulfill her plan.
Scenario 2:
Jake, fueled by anger after a dispute with his landlord, gathers gasoline and matches with the intention of setting fire to his landlord's property. However, just as he is about to ignite the fire, he hears approaching footsteps and quickly hides the materials. Jake's attempt to commit arson is thwarted, and he is later arrested by the authorities.
Scenario 3:
Michael, a disgruntled employee, decides to seek revenge on his former workplace by setting fire to the office building. Under the cover of darkness, he successfully ignites multiple fires using incendiary devices, causing extensive damage to the building and neighboring properties before the fire is eventually extinguished by firefighters.
