This isn't my original concept, but here is my take on it.
Firebrand - Town Killing
Summary: You are a pyromaniac who wants to burn all the criminals.
Attack: Powerful
Defense: None
Unique: No
Priority: 3 (dousing), 5 (ignition)
Abilities:
- Douse one player in gasoline during the day.
- Select yourself at night to ignite all doused targets.
Attributes:
- You may not ignite players doused by other Firebrands or Arsonists unless you also doused them.
- If igniting would otherwise kill two or more Town members, you will instead burn yourself and your Last Will.
- If you target someone who you doused previously they will become undoused.
- You may not ignite on Night 1, nor may you ignite twice in a row.
Investigative Results:
Sheriff: You see no evidence of wrongdoing. Your target seems innocent.
Investigator: Bodyguard/Godfather/Arsonist/Firebrand
Consigliere: Your target uses fire for good. They must be a Firebrand.
Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.
Victory Conditions: Same as Town
Notifications:

You have instead chosen to douse [player] tonight.

Mechanics:
- You are not informed of being doused, regardless of the source.
- If you ignite, you will only kill targets who you doused. You will not kill players who were doused by someone else unless you also doused them.
- Players may be doused by you, other Firebrands, Arsonists, or any combination of those roles.
- You may only ignite once and do not passively douse visitors.
- Players who you ignite will appear to be killed by a Firebrand.
- All other mechanics are identical to those of Arsonist.

Lore:
The firefighter watched as yet another house burned down in the village of Salem. It seemed to be happening more often. A crowd of concerned residence would show up at the fire station in the middle of the night, he would walk outside ad smell the burning ashes from miles away, and by the time he got to the house it would already be leveled to dust. He tried everything to stop it. Fire alarms weren't loud enough. Fire extinguishers never seemed to work properly. On one fateful night, the firefighter heard as residents all over town were woken up to burning wood in their own homes. Frantically, he ran from house to house, not even trying to put out the fires but just hoping to save as many lives as possible. In the end, few were spared. Among the casualties included the Mayor of the town, the Doctor, and the Sheriff. But not all the deaths were true-hearted townspeople. The Mafia was decimated, and the Serial Killer was also burned to death. In the pile of rubble and dead bodies, the firefighter had a new idea. Rather than trying to stop the fires, he would start them. But he would do it in a controlled manner and make sure to spare all the innocent residents of the village. He would fight fire with fire. The Firebrand was ready to burn.
