Oh man I would have to find it. He was active in the 90's, and it never really made the mainstream media. We found out about it from things like American Heat (an old school fire training satellite channel) similar Fire fighting industry press and lectures from the ATF. The dude was a complete ghost. You could only tell he had been there from the shear unnatural temperatures of his fires. It's not often you actually see concrete burn. Or steel pretty much vaporize. When he lit a building there would be nothing left. Not even the foundation. Theye were never 100% sure if there were any victims because all evidence was gone. But the general view was he was mostly careful to avoid that. The ATF was pretty sure he was an extremely skilled professional arsonist. Not a mental illness related pyro. Just someone who had some really good job skills and a knowledge of high temperature chemistry. His targets were always commercial properties. Warehouses, factories, etc. Often things that had high insurance value, and possibly not completely honest owners. A Hallmark of his fires were things like a freeburning, non chemical building fire burning bright blue shading to green or purple. And you would never find one of his suspected jobs in a state where the firefighters would be tempted to attempt an entry. The shit went up that fast and that hot. But without any apparent violent explosion. Just an incredibly fast moving hot fire. If I recall he seemed mostly centered around the Seattle Washington Area, and signs of his work could be found throughout the coastal NW region. The ATF spent a number of years trying to figure out what his magic mix was.
I always remember the stories of this guy, because back in '85 I had a College Chemistry Professor that bailed on the school halfway through the first semester. He was supposed to be one of the worlds top experts on High Temperature/High Energy Chemistry. Developing Military Solid Rocket Fuels and such. Real cutting edge shit. He was an arrogant and obnoxious shithead, A completely awful human being in every way imaginable. but he was one of the schools top chemists so the Chemistry Grad Students were heavily dependent on him. He dropped everything, literally said fuck you all that October because his big experiment was going up on the next Shuttle Launch and he had been tapped by NASA! He just left, leaving at least a dozen Phd Chemistry candidates completely fucked. His experiment launched in January... Challenger. He was unemployed the next day. And because of how obnoxiously he had left our University, nobody was real interested in picking him up from what we heard. I always wondered what happened to him...
