Yes, this is a buffed version of Arsonist.

It's not overpowered because they cannot win with other than Survivors, Neutral Evils excluding Witches and they are always alone like Werewolf. Defeating Pyromaniac will not be hard if the flames can be stopped and Pyromaniacs location can almost be determined (i.e. house #3 got burned and then it moves to #4 the next night) you can know for sure that Pyromaniac is quite close, avoid hanging #5 and above then focus on the number opposite of #3 or hang the number that will be the next victim, the Pyromaniac needs 2 nights to Ablaze again, use that time to find them.

Arsonists have low victory chance, Pyromaniacs are not much different once they are found they are done. The best thing to do is like the Arsonist, just wait until you sure who to set Ablaze, a gap in between houses will put out your flame and waste your ability. Setting Ablaze to house next door is not a good idea because as the neighbor you will be suspected first. Pyromaniac will need more mind game despite their strength. Remember, Pyromaniac's flame is their second life, they can still win as long the flame reaches the final living player except Survivors, Neutral Evils excluding Witches remaining in the entire Town. But the chances of the flame reaches the final player? not that high, bad luck Pyromaniac will have their flames cut short often and they are the most wanted target. This role needs skill, not just blindly burn the Town.
