A penalty of temporary imprisonment for a period not less than (7) seven years shall be imposed on anyone who deliberately sets fire to buildings, factories, workshops, warehouses, occupied or unoccupied buildings located in a city or village, or to railway coaches or stations, vehicles carrying one or more persons or attached to a train carrying one or more persons, ships navigating or anchoring in any harbour, aircraft flying or landing in an airport, or to buildings constructed or designated for residence located outside inhabited areas, whether all such things are owned by the perpetrator or not. If it appears that the fire was set to grant the perpetrator or another person an advantage, this shall be considered an aggravating circumstance. In all cases, a judgment shall be issued ordering the perpetrator to pay a fine equivalent to the damages caused thereby.
