Could there be someone going around and starting some of these newer smaller fires .
There were 2 structures destroyed, one house and a shop/garage beside the house.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it started from a bad dehumidifier or a heater for drying veggies. Not sure why anyone would be using a heater this time of year though.
It was arson. Apperently a man living down the road spotted the fire around midnight but failed to report it claiming he didn’t know who to call. We didn’t get the page out until 6:30. When I got their the house,shop,and one other out building were ashes. The fire was contained to 3 and a half acres.
Thank you for your help and for the update info.
