A lorry driver cheated death by just two minutes after waking up to a massive explosion before quickly leaping out of his cab after a fire-obsessed arsonist set it alight.
Jacob Cooper, who was branded “dangerous” in court had a “fascination with fire” and loved to watch flames as a “comfort” when he was under stress.
Julia Baggs, prosecuting, said that a lorry driver was sleeping in his lorry parked, when at 12.40am, he heard an explosion.
