Arsonphobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of fire or of
setting something on fire. Those who
suffer from this phobia may avoid striking matches, lighters, barbeques and
even campfires.
A phobia is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects,

I dont know if my fear of burned houses would be the same as arsonphobia. But I cannot go in or near a burned house. I start to panic and become very nervous. I have had dreams about something pulling me towards them and I can barely get away. Even the smell makes me sick to my stomach. Whenever I am near a burned house, I get as far away from it as I can to walk pass.
