If you were to try to set a house on fire, how would you do it?

I'm not trying to set my house fire but at work were trying to develop an experiment for an instructional forensics lab.

So if you were trying to make it look like an accident what would you use?

Towel "accidentally" left too close to the burners on my gas stove?

I legitimately once started a fire by leaving my surf board wax too close to a space heater.

Did the wax get too hot and melt something? What is in surf board wax?

We legit accidentally set the house on fire by leaving a cheap tall candle burning on the bedside table.  It melted unevenly and fell over without going out, lighting a pillow and drapes on fire.  I'd probably do something similar?. put a pillow next to a candle or a towel next to a burner but I'd make sure that the sprinkler system and/or smoke detector would "malfunction" first.

My parents' dog almost set their house on fire.  They left a pizza box out... On the stove.  He jumped up and turned the knob for one of the gas burners.  They came home to a singed pizza box and smoke.

we legit had a fire when I was in high school.  We had just moved, and my parents were storing pillows above the furnace.  That started the fire.  (I realize that doesn't answer your question exactly.  But, I think your experiment should be a beagle almost burning down a house trying to eat pizza!)

Leave a flat iron on next to my naiplolish drawer and hairspray. If I put a hairspray bottle in between the two parts of the flat iron, it would eventually get hot enough to combust... That "explosion" would set off any and all other explosive items in the hair product drawer... Which is right next to my naiplolish drawer. That out to start a fairly decent flame inside the wooden cabinet.

I...I feel like you know how to do this a little too well....*nervous laughter?*
