Yes, I wondered about that too. I saw the photo. Starting a fire in a median between two firebreaks (pavement) is dumb. Start it on one shoulder with the wind blowing away from the road and you’ve got something.

Couple thoughts. Grass and brush burns very hot, flames can easily be 10 feet high. If there is wind, sparks and embers fly distances and could easily ignite the sides of the freeway. Also, the article said they caught him when he was still there and brush was on fire. He may have been about to light in other places, who knows.
