Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 14 fires within 5 miles of Old Mill between 2015 and 2020, burning about 12 acres in total. None 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.
