Bava Kamma 60 - The Owner of Fire Will Repay (Torts)

If one sends a fire in the hands of a deaf-mute, a deranged person, or a minor, the sender is not liable under the laws of man, but he is liable under Heaven's laws. If he sent fire in the hands of a mentally competent person, the sent one is liable.

If one brought the fire and another brought the wood and put it in fire, the second one is liable. If another person fanned it, he is liable. If the wind fanned it, all are exempt.

If one sends a fire and it consumes wood, stones, or earth of another, he is liable.
