Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 22 fires within 5 miles of Buffalo Gap between 2007 and 2020, burning about 165 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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.
