By DANIEL SELIGMAN REPORTER ASSOCIATE Patty de Llosa

(FORTUNE Magazine) – Some do it to be heroes. Some do it for the rush. And some, psychologists . . . say, do it simply to relieve the tedium . . . The arrests last week of four volunteer firefighters on charges of setting a series of blazes in the Smithtown ((New York)) area has focused attention once again on a phenomenon that . . . never ceases to infuriate fire officials: . . . firefighters who turn arsonists . . . David H. Fischler, the chief fire marshal of Suffolk County, said his office . . . is reviving an arson-awareness workshop for volunteer firefighters . . . One of the workshop's goals, he said, is to explain the consequences of starting fires . . . -- From a news report in the New York Times.
