Who knows they may have used the cover of Chinese lanterns but seriously this was probably a well planned insurance job.
You think a tiny flame can't start a big blaze? Really?

After the fire at the stable I referred to a few posts back, the Fire Brigade found the wire from the lantern in the burned out building. Also, Richard Bacon MP raised the subject of Chinese Lanterns at PMQ a couple of years ago after several farmers in East Anglia had their crops destroyed by fires caused by Chinese lanterns.
