A library, yes. A pile of corpses, yes. A forest? Not yet.
PCs starting a forest fire?

With us it's rental cars.
I don't think we've ever returned a rental car intact. They've been blown up with grenades (thrown by my jesuit priest), stepped on by dinosaurs (yes, one of our rental cars was stepped on by a dinosaur. It's a long story), and suffered a variety of other indiginties (although I think we owned the pickup truck we used to push a Mi-go brain cylinder on a sofa through the streets of Chicago).

My PCs have burned down a forest before. They even got an NPC druid to help them make sure the whole thing burned.
A nearby Far Raelm bleed through point had corrupted a Treant along with some surrounding plant life. The critter moved into a large section of woods near the Captol city. After a few encounters with the psuedonatural treant, the 5th to 6th level PCs realized the ent was actually animating other trees to do the fighting, which then took on its corruption even after de-animating. Their only real weapon against it was the corrupt ent had strong pyrophobia, which they learned through high casualty trial and error...
The PCs, fearing more could likly perish fighting the ent and endless supply of minions it had access to, took the dwarven [alchemist]fire-thrower they had obtained previosly and used it to swiftly ignight the forest perimiter. They encountered the druid when they had over half of the outer forest ring ignited. Having returned to the area because of rumors of a fouless in the forest, the druid was not in a good mood. Through good roleplay they convinced the druid of the nessesity to burn the forest to ash.
Through fleetness of foot, the PCs managed to close the ent in the circle of burning woods, in which it was eventually consumed.

A few years ago in a long running campaign, the party was fighting goblins and the shaman laid out a flame strike in the middle of a small clearing and right on top of the party member wearing the necklace with the nice little explosive beads on it. They were big ones too... pretty fireworks... huge explosion. Two members of the party survived the initial blast, but the resulting firestorm from the forest around... TPK.
Thankfully two members of the party were out that session and when they returned next session, their characters headed in the direction the party was going (they had been left to heal at an Elven village) and started encountering refugees fleeing a great fire. When they reached the river bank and saw the far end of the bridge on far and a wall of flames across the river, they gave up and headed in another direction.
The corpses were never found and it was a great mystery for the rest of the campaign.
