What is a Pyromania?

What will be an ideal response?


? A pyromaniac is a person who is a compulsive fire starter. This person is motivated by several aspects of the fire-setting experience. For example, some experts claim that pyromaniacs gain sexual stimulation by starting and viewing fires. In addition, excitation is achieved by the crowds that gather and the emergency vehicles that converge on the scene. Pyromaniacs are impulsive fire setters; their acts are seldom planned.
