Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 3 fires within 5 miles of Kerens between 1995 and 2000, burning about 102 acres in total. 1 started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.
