● What Constitutes Burning?
The mere fact that a building is scorched or discolored by
heat is not sufficient nor will
bare intention or even an attempt to burn a house amount
to arson, if no part of it is burned.

● Yet, if there is actual ignition of any part of the

building, arson is committed, although
there be no flame or the fire immediately goes out of itself.
● To burn means to consume by fire and in the case of
arson, if the wood is blackened but
no fibers are wasted, there is no burning, yet the wood
need not be in flame or blaze, and
the burning of any part, however, small is sufficient to
constitute arson, and if the house is
charred in a single place so as to destroy the fibers of the
wood, it is sufficient to constitute
arson.
What is Attempted Arson?

● In attempted arson, it is not necessary that there be a fire before the crime is
committed.
No hard and fast rule is laid down by the law as to the requirements for attempted
arson.
The peculiar facts and circumstances of a particular case should carry more weight in
the
decision of the case. Thus, a person intending to burn a wooden structure, collects
some
rags, soaks them in gasoline and places them beside the wooden wall of the building.
When
he is about to light a match to set fire to the rags, he is discovered by another who
chases
him away.

● The crime committed is attempted arson, because the offender begins the
commission of
the crime directly by overacts (placing the rags soaked in gasoline beside the wooden
 What is Frustrated Arson?
● In frustrated arson, the fact of having set fire to some
rags and jute sacks soaked in kerosene
oil and placed near the partition of the entire soil of an
inhabited house, should not be
qualified as a consummated arson, in as much as no part
of the house had begun to burn,
although fire would have started in the said partition
had it not been extinguished on time.
The crime committed was frustrated arson.
What is Consummated Arson?
● The offender did in fact set fire to the
roof of the house and said house was
partially burned. The crime was
consummated arson, notwithstanding
the fact that the fire afterwards
extinguished for once it has been
started, the consummation of the crime
of arson does not depend upon the
extent of the damage caused.

● Setting fire to the contents of a building

constitutes the consummated crime of
setting fire to a building even if no part
of the building was burned.
 ● Basis of Liability in Arson:

1. Kind and character of the

building, whether of public or
private ownership.
2. Its location, whether in an
uninhabited place or in a
populated place.
3. Extent of damage caused; and
4. The fact of its being inhabited
or not.
