With several fires breaking out in rural areas recently, there is growing concern about the possibility of deliberate actions causing the damage. What’s your opinion?

I strongly believe that most of these fires are being deliberately set by someone with ill intentions. I’ve never witnessed this many fires in such a short period of time, and it’s deeply concerning. So, without a doubt, my answer is a resounding yes.

No, I don’t think arson is the main cause of the recent fires on smallholdings, farms, and nature reserves. While some may be deliberate, many are due to climate change, agricultural practices, and human activity. In short, it’s important to address these broader factors, not just arson, to reduce future fire risks.
