Full text
(1) A person commits the offense of arson in the fourth degree if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly sets fire to, or causes to be burned, property and thereby damages the property of another without the other's consent.
(2) Except as provided in subsection (3), arson in the fourth degree shall be a misdemeanor.
(3) Arson in the fourth degree shall be a class C felony if the act was committed during the time period and within the geographic area in which a red flag warning was in effect. The state of mind requirement for the offense shall not be applicable to the fact that the red flag warning was in effect at the time and within the geographic area in which the act was committed. The state of mind requirement applicable to the attendant circumstance that the red flag warning was in effect at the time and within the geographic area in which the act was committed shall be negligence.
For purposes of this subsection, "red flag warning" means the weather warning issued by the National Weather Service to indicate that warm temperatures, very low humidities, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger.
