Activity Overview
In "Scorched," Charlie and Larry discuss how different arsonists approach fires differently. This means that every fire could be different, not just in terms of the arson method, but in the whole character of the fire. According to Larry, "What we are talking about is a fingerprint for fires," or as Charlie puts it, a "fireprint."
