In the US, the primary laws that would be used if there was a forest fire are:
- arson, if the fire was proven to be deliberately set;
- criminal mischief, if the action met certain criteria;
- destruction of private / personal property, if the fire was deliberately set.
However, many forest fires arise from lightning strikes. There can be no charges brought if that is the case.
