On October 10<sup>th</sup>, 1984, a fire broke out in an Ole's Home Center, a hardware store in South Pasadena, California killing four people including a two year old child and his grandmother. The fire was at first deemed accidental, but Orr stated that the fire was set on purpose.

He commonly started fires in fabric sections of stores, especially pillows thus earning the nickname The Pillow Pyro.
