(NEW YORK POST) -- At least six men in Oregon have been accused of intentionally setting blazes during the state’s devastating wildfire season, according to a report.

There is no evidence that the suspects were motivated by politics, despite conspiracies that such an animus has fueled the fires that have burned more than a million acres (1,500 square miles), OregonLive reported.

Instead, some of the blazes were attributed to petty beefs, relationship troubles and enjoying the “smell of smoke,” officials said.
