BERLIN (Reuters) - A German fireman has admitted committing more than 30 acts of arson so he could fight more fires, police say.
"The man said he did it because he really enjoyed putting out fires," Josef Hoenes, spokesman for the police in the southern town of Tuebingen, said on Friday.
Doctors enjoy making their patients feel better, but you don't see them poisening people to get their kicks. That is an odd thing to do, I am hoping he kept his frolics to empty and abandoned places aside from families homes..

That really is a shame that he would resort to that. I've heard about recent large forest fires being started by someone who didn't think it would get so out-of-control, either by being careless or wanting to come in and be a hero.
