Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 17 fires within 5 miles of Robert A. Alston House between 1993 and 2007, burning about 23 acres in total. None started naturally. 11 were 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.
