Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 63 fires within 5 miles of Edisto Island between 1992 and 2019, burning about 596 acres in total. None started naturally. 17 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.
