5. No.

Not if it was unintended consequences.
But if his INTENT was to start a big brushfire, that's different.

If he was just a kid playing with matches, no.

My very grown up neighbor started a brushfire on an adjacent vacant lot a few weeks ago. It was an accident, albeit a dumb one.
He's not been charged with anything, although we're in a severe drought area with 'no burn' rules in effect.

Happily the fire department arrived in time to put it out after it was just about burned out anyway.
