A 7-year-old Juneau boy has admitted to starting five fires over a little more than four months, AP reported.

Juneau fire marshal Dan Jager said that the boy caused about $1,000 in damages by starting fires in restrooms at Harborview Elementary School and in the Terry Miller Legislative Building, plus a downtown grass fire and two fires at a Fred Meyer store.

"He has no idea how big the fires could have gotten," Jager said.

"He won't be going to jail," Fire Chief Richard Etheridge said. The case will however be forwarded to probation officers at the Johnson Youth Center.

7岁男孩成纵火犯

       据美联社报道，来自美国阿拉斯加州首府朱诺市的一名7岁小男孩承认，他曾在4个多月之内5次纵火。

       朱诺市消防局局长丹·杰格表示，该男孩在滨海小学卫生间、泰瑞·米勒立法会大楼和商业区一块草坪处放火，还在福瑞德·梅耶商店2次放火，导致经济损失1000美金。

       杰格说：“他并不知道火能够烧到多大，有多危险。”

       消防队队长理查德·伊瑟莉姬称：“他不会坐牢。不过，这个案件将会由约翰逊青年中心的劳教教官来判定。”
