It really depends on the individual. Various reasons lead to fire starters. Bushfire starters are same as your standard fire starters. There is the hero complex which is one that showed up during the Victorian Bushfires. These people are fixed with fire. They will be associated with volenteer emergency responce teams such as SES or volenteer firefighters. They have a need to put fires out and feel like they are "saving" someone or something. These are also traits of nurses who put patients in life threatening situations so they can be the one to revive them and be the "hero". You also find there are pyromanias who are obsessed with fires. You could say addicted like a drug addict. They become aroused while watching something burn.
