Maybe he started it himself just to steal a firetruck?

I feel like I have heard this exact scenario happening before.

Intrusive thoughts. Cop cars are usually open and running…

It's because you've played either Grand Theft Auto or Just Cause 2.

I found one from November where he allegedly set the home on fire as well.

It's all rookie shit until you steal a SWAT tank.

Are we talking just the tank or while they are responding to your own home?

Your own home. It's much more challenging to walk out the front door after SWAT's arrived.
