[176] Now at that time the bhikkhus of the group of six (chabbaggiyā) set fire to a forest (dāya). People complained, criticized, and spread it about: … "just like those who set fire to the jungle" … They reported this matter to the Blessed One. … "Bhikkhus, a forest is not to be set on fire. Whoever should set one on fire commits an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa)."
