The magistrate correctly convicted: the appellant lit the blanket and left it to spread and then shut the main door preventing escape; the defendant's conduct after ignition demonstrated the necessary recklessness (consistent with Miller), and authorities cited by the appellant (Steer, Sangha) did not undermine the prosecution case; appeal dismissed.
