Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Adobe Crossing in 2011, burning about 35 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.
