My 6 year old son, adopted at birth also is intrigued with fire. I think it could be the age. I think kids get intrigued and that age from 5-10 could be dangerous adopted or bio. My husband and his brother lit a piece of paper on fire and when my M-I-L smelled fire they dropped it into a bucket to hide it - well, you probably can guess the rest - the barrel went up as well. Luckily it was in the kitchen close to the sink, otherwise the house would have gone down. My B-I-L is a fireman and he says that's the most dangerous age because kids experiment and then try and hide it to not get in trouble (blow the match out - but put it in a barrel and cover with tissue paper or something). I guess you'll have to continue to watch him, but don't jump to conclusions yet. Good luck

p.s. we have a gas fireplace that is on all the time and since we put it in he is less interested.
