A former firefighter, who wrote a book on a fatal school fire, has been jailed for burning down a school.
David Cowan, who helped write an account of the blaze at Chicago's Our Lady of the Angels School - which killed 95 pupils and nuns in 1958 - was arrested and charged with arson after a fire broke out in a storage building at a school where he worked as a janitor. "To Sleep With the Angels: The Story of a Fire" detailed the horrific fire and subsequent changes to national fire safety rules.
Cowan, 41, had been a firefighter at the suburban Bellwood, Illinois, department, but lost his job in 2003.

he was probably just bitter for losing his job.
