Give him a break- he's 15. Yes it was stupid, and with no thought to the consequences, but at that age a child would probably not think such a serious result would occur. He was probably thinking along the lines of "this leaf will smoke and maybe burn up a bit and i'll put it out and my buddies will have a good laugh."
I've seen many more older and (presumably) more responsible people commit acts much more idiotic and dangerous for the sake of a laugh and got lucky when it went wrong. I'm sure this kid learned a very important lesson about fire and the consequences for his actions.
