well, you said these things happen all the time... A few years back when the beast of Fort McMuray fires were ravaging, the son of a firefighter who was also a firefighter or volunteer lit a wooden trestle bridge (also a historical site) on fire in the middle of a dry summer. When asked why he did it, so he could be seen as the town hero when he put it out except the fire got out of control for a while and burned the whole thing down. I believe it was the last operational one left in Canada.
This is not fictional. What are people thinking these days? I can feel your frustrations with humanity.
