Arson
(redirected from fire-raising)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Arson
Deliberately setting fire with a destructive intent. Arson can be intended to incite terror; for example, a loan shark may set fire to a building owned by a debtor. Insurance for businesses and homes usually covers arson, though sometimes company owners set fire to their own buildings as a form of insurance fraud.
