Reckless Burning-Utah Code Ann. sect. 76-6-104(b).
The defendant _________________ (NAME), is charged [in Count _____] with Reckless Burning on or about [DATE]. You cannot convict (him)(her) of this offense unless, based on the evidence, you find beyond a reasonable doubt each of the following elements:

2. started a fire,
3. knew that it was spreading and would endanger the life or property of another, and
4. (a) did not take reasonable measures to put out or control the fire, or
(b) did not give a prompt alarm.
After you carefully consider all the evidence in this case, if you are convinced that each and every element has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find the defendant GUILTY. On the other hand, if you are not convinced that one or more of these elements has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, then you must find the defendant NOT GUILTY.
