Fire Lover is the incredible true story of John Orr. As a young boy growing up in Los Angeles, Orr watched with awe as firefighters put out blazes with a seeming disregard for their own lives. Wanting to emulate his heroes, he later became a fireman, a fire captain, and one of Southern California’s most renowned serial arson investigators.
Though he successfully helped apprehend a string of petty arsonists, there was one serial criminal Orr couldn’t track down, one who was responsible for the deaths of four people. These perfectly executed blazes were set by a fire lover who used the same simple yet devastating device time after time. He went undiscovered until one day when he left a fingerprint, one clue investigators could match. When they did, they were stunned to discover that the print belonged to none other than John Orr.
