firestarter
Not me but my brother's schoolmate. one fine evening back in the early 80s, my brother's mate decided to start a fire. He looked for something appropraite and decided that a flat bed lorry loaded with huge rolls of paper (like 2m bog rolls) would burn quite well. It did. Lots of fire engines later, the fire was put out and much mirth and giggling came from my brother's mate. Twat.

Also, one Guy Fawkes night, me and my family were celebrating with fireworks in the back garden. One of the rockets didn't go straight upwards as intended but sort of sideways. It landed in a garden 3 doors down and, as a consequence of a long dry summer and a less than rainy autumn, set the garden alight. I had to run round to the neighbours house and knock on the door to ask if I could go into his garden and extinguish the flames. Luckily there wasn't much damage.

Furthermore I have done the silly thing whilst lighting BBQ's where I "soak" the coals in about 1 litre of meths. I stood back and launched a lit match ino the BBQ expecting it to catch slowly and rise to an inferno before settling back to usual BBQ proportions. I didn't expect it to explode. Arse.
