6 (720 ILCS 5/20-1.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 20-1.1)
7 Sec. 20-1.1. Aggravated Arson. (a) A person commits
8 aggravated arson when in the course of committing arson he
9 knowingly damages any real property, or any personal property
10 having a value of $150 or more, of another without that other
11 person's consent, including all or any part of a house
12 trailer, watercraft, motor vehicle, or railroad car, or

18 fire or explosion or (3) a fireman or policeman who is
19 present at the scene acting in the line of duty, is injured
20 as a result of the fire or explosion. For purposes of this
21 Section, property "of another" means a building or other
22 property, whether real or personal, in which a person other
23 than the offender has an interest that the offender has no
24 authority to defeat or impair, even though the offender may
25 also have an interest in the building or property.
26 (b) Sentence. Aggravated arson is a Class X felony.
