Most of the time, it’s a guess. Unless the actual trained fire investigators are called, the fire officers just make an assumption. It’s almost always “electrical”.

We had a car fire across the street. Fire chief declared that it was the fault of the driver for parking it on dry leaves. He was so sure of it until we reviewed our security cameras and it caught some asshole stuffing a flaming rag into the filler neck of the gas tank, closing the door, and running away.

“Dry leaves, huh Chief?”
