Isn't lighting any fire in the woods during dry conditions inherently malicious?

A hot exhaust could cause a fire in the woods during dry conditions. Would you consider this malicious behavior if you idled your car to take a photo and something smoldered you didn't notice? Negligent perhaps, but malicious?
I don't see any comparison at all between intentionally starting a fire and your car exhaust unintentionally starting a fire.
