Truthfully it is NOT illegal to burn your own house down provided YOU do not have a mortgage (you own the house outright), are not asking for insurance funds, no one was hurt or in danger of being hurt.As an aside to your aside, I was working in Arkansas for 6 months once. I was going down the road, talking to a coworker and observed a house burning to the ground on the side of the interstate. I saw no one there. No people, no firetrucks, no police, nothing!!! I asked my coworker if he thought it was weird that there was no one at the fire. He replied by querying me as to why the fire department would respond to what was obviously someone burning their own house down. When I asked why they were not afraid of being charged for arson. He asked why should it be illegal to burn your own house down.
