It honestly might just be wind conditions, the buildings catching fire are all older builds and ktown power lines are notorious for snapping in heavy wind conditions

A homeless guy was sleeping in the attic of the building nobody knew he was there for days and somehow started the fire. This was hearsay by someone that lives in the area. Everyone is out.
