"Arson is only considered a felony in New York if the arsonist harms or attempts to harm a person, or carries out the attack as a hate crime"
So am I wrong to assume you could literally burn up any empty building/structure(No matter what monetary value it had) & walk right out without posting any kind of bail.
1st responders are people. A fireman shows up and gets sent to the hospital or gets treated on scene for any minor injury = they got hurt = felony arson. If you set fire to a structure the FDP is going to show up, and the odds of them getting a minor injury is very high. So I don't see this staying a misdemeanor for any kind of significant fire set in a structure.
