The obsession with fire, marked by five things.
1 The inexplicable obsession with fire, burning and any flamable objects.
2 The irresistable urge to watch fire or to lite one.
3 The disregard of other's lives, possessions and feelings when they conflict with the starting of a fire.
4 Feelings of lust are displayed when watching, liting or simply being around fire.
5 The reasons for starting the fire are not for revenge, property damage, the desire to start anew, light or entertainment - but an indescribable feeling that comes from simply watching flames - one that the pyromaniac cannot control.

Pyromania is an impulse control disorder in which individuals repeatedly fail to resist impulses to deliberately start fires, in order to relieve some tension or for instant gratification. Pyromania is distinct from arson, the deliberate setting of fires for personal, monetary or political gain. Pyromaniacs start fires to induce euphoria and often fixate on institutions of fire control like firehouses and firemen. Pyromania is a type of impulse control disorder, along with kleptomania, intermittent explosive disorder and others.
There are specific symptoms that separate pyromaniacs from those who start fires for criminal purposes or due to emotional motivations not specifically related to fire. Someone suffering from this disorder deliberately and purposely sets fires on more than one occasion, and before the act of lighting the fire the person usually experiences tension and an emotional buildup. When around fires, a person suffering from pyromania gains intense interest or fascination and may also experience pleasure, gratification or relief. Another long-term contributor often linked with pyromania is the buildup of stress. When studying the lifestyle of someone with pyromania, a buildup of stress and emotion is often evident and this is seen in teens' attitudes towards friends and family. At times it is difficult to distinguish the difference between pyromania and experimentation in childhood because both involve pleasure from the fire.
