Arson in Algonquin

We had an arson in Algonquin this week. A gangbanger tried to rob an electronics store by burning down the back door. He ended up catching himself on fire and destroying a city block. I had to investigate the scene. Turns out he couldn't light his cigarette because it was wet, so he dumped some gas on it. The gas got his arm soaked, too. Then he tried lighting his cigarette with the burning building's flames. I can say he isn't going to be robbing any stores for the remainder of his life.
