The 56-year-old arsonist from Sindos, who has set six fires in recent days, was remanded in custody with the consent of the investigating judge and the prosecutor, according to a report by ERT.
The man admitted that he started the fires because he was feeling stressed out by his job.

When asked if he started six fires due to work-related stress and stupidity, the 56-year-old did not answer; he simply shook his head.
Over the course of three days, the man allegedly started a total of six fires, driving from one location to another in his car.
In a video published by Rthess, the 59-year-old is seen stopping his vehicle and setting grass on fire. Shortly afterward, he gets back into the vehicle and drives away from the scene.
