Arson is one of the specific charges of endangering public security, which refers to the act of deliberately setting fire to public and private property and endangering public security. Arson is a kind of intentional crime, and its object is public safety, that is, the life and health of unspecified majority or the safety of major public and private property. Although there is a causal relationship between the occurrence of fire and the negligent behavior of the actor, if the fire is put out in time without harmful consequences, or the losses caused are slight, it does not constitute a crime of misfire. The public security organ may punish it in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, or the relevant units may give criticism and education or administrative sanctions.

To sum up, arson is a very dangerous behavior, which can easily lead to fire, and the property losses and casualties caused by fire are often relatively large. If a fire occurs in a mountain forest, the mountain forest will often be burned and the ecological environment will be destroyed.
