Disclaimer:

It's possible that this footage is a hoax of some kind. I cannot confirm one way or the other at this point, but I think it's important to at least include this as a possible piece of evidence to support the claims that these fires are the result of arson. If it can be proven that this video is in some way a fake, please go right ahead and do that.

This footage was apparently posted as early as August 21 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CELF-MOBpai/

Fighting Fire with Fire

Drip Torch on Steroids from a helicopter.

Who can tell me why they are burning out and what this tool is truly called?

We are not just burning the forest. This is a tactic used to fight a brush fire, as well as other uses.

Thank you for sending brother:

be safe up there!

So I'm thinking hoax. Regardless, I stand by my other comment questioning why the CCP wouldn't have people set fires (other than fear of being caught). I came across the Instagram video by looking over a bunch of posts in Chinese on facebook.
