I used to love playing with fire as a kid. A lot of it boils down to curiosity. I’m a curious person in general and love “seeing what will happen if I do x” so it’s not an absolute guarantee that someone will be a psychopath. If you’re burning property, harming animals, etc. then that would be a red flag but simple curiosity is normal especially in little boys.
