Only from climate change denying conspiracy nutbags.
After reading your comment i was intrigued and found this on the subject, basically woman in Alberta charged with 32 counts of arson after wildfire investigation. I will link story below https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6053436
Misinformation
That story has been featured in a lot of sources to back claims like yours.
Press Progress did a feature on it recently.

Didn't you notice the date of the article you're citing?
It's from 2021 ..... two years ago and has nothing to do with the current forest fire season
honestly didnβt notice, thanks for making me aware of that, i kind did a quick search and found that
That's the nature of modern day information now .... we're on our own and we have to be weary of anything and everything we read and watch because it's all being manipulated
My general rule of thumb is ... if what you find instantly makes you feel hate, anger, anxiety or fear ... especially towards a person or a people ... then chances are it has already done its work ... because someone is channeling your hate, anxiety, anger and fear to get you think and act in ways that will hurt others
Always second guess everything you read and watch ... never take it for face value without researching it first
Yes it happens occasionally, but it's very very rare.
I agree, I think most reasonable people are not out there starting fires on purpose
