They talk about fire a lot in school at this age. My 7 year old talks a lot about fire and alarms.
I have two true fire setters and there is a difference. They don't verbalize that much about fire, but they do set them and they stay to watch them burn. R set bmom's clothes closet on fire when he was four and tried to stay in it and watch it burn. His brother saved him but he said R fought to stay. R set a fire in their yard at a foster home. He tried to burn down our house, but the lighter he stole had a child safety switch he couldn't figure out how to use. He wanted to use gasoline, but couldn't break the cabinet lock. D has showed up with lighters, but hasn't used them. He set a school bathroom on fire in a previous placement.
I don't think I'd panic too much.
