Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 59 fires within 5 miles of Specht's Store and Schmidt's Gin between 2005 and 2012, burning about 966 acres in total. None started naturally. 4 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.
