Pyromania phobia-a person who has a passion for fire; the way it look, feel and how satisfaction it is. The DSM Criteria are deliberate and purposeful fire setting on more than one occasion, tension or affective arousal before the act, fascination with, interest in, curiosity about, or attraction to fire and its situational contexts, also  pleasure, gratification, or relief when setting fires, or when witnessing or participating in their aftermath, the fire setting is not done for monetary gain, as an expression of sociopolitical ideology, to conceal criminal activity, to express anger or vengeance, to improve one's living circumstances, in response to a delusion or a hallucination, or as a result of impaired judgment and however the fire setting is not better accounted for by Conduct Disorder, a Manic Episode, or Antisocial Personality Disorder.

This disorder affects people mentally, physically and emotionally; it’s a cry for help and attention. It’s also a sign of feeling neglected, peer pressure, and stressful by setting things on fire is a way they relieve their emotions.

Being a pyro is part of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. However the treatment for kids is simpler compared to adults. If a child is a pyromania someone can have them work on solving skills anger management, communication skills, or taught how to deal with their anger but with adults it’s harder mainly because of lack on cooperation so depends on their stage they can receive medicine or long-term psychotherapy.
