I think this 'report' is just made up propaganda - if there were something other than a blatantly-biased account of the event, it might be worth discussing.

for those interested in reality---- ----5000 square meters is ---
about ONE SINGLE ACRE ---------got that sherri-----you are
referring to a SINGLE ACRE fire in wheat fields Seems
more likely that someone---ANYONE --flipped a cigarette out
of a car window. I cannot imagine anyone interested in actual
arson for the sake of destruction doing a SINGLE acre of a
wheat field-----can't get many pitas out of ONE SINGLE ACRE
