Sure she is liable. She caused a fire that damaged property. Just like any other crime she can be held for restitution. Reckless endangerment, destruction of private property, destruction of public property. here in Colorado, a lady started the Hayman fire a few years back. Not only did she receive jail time but was ordered liable for $12,000,000 in damages as well for loss to property owners.
