"On Fire" is a fifth season episode of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames investigate a series of arsons in Brooklyn churches after an elderly church councilor is supposedly burned to death.

They start off by revealing that the suspect tried to cover-up half the crime by only being interested in demolishing one of the churches, and also find a use of commercial cleaning duties. As they come across the new councilor who had recently took the victim's place they end up finding more than what they were originally looking for.
