Maybe they just couldn't afford their heating bills and decided to make community fires to help their community? Nah, there are just too many idiots running around in society today.

How often do car fires happen?
Q. how often does this emergency occur, in what conditions does it often happen, how many fatalities does it cause each year, and what places are it most likely to happen???? PLZ HELP??? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!
Answer
Considering the number of cars on the road (254 million), in 2005, there were 266,000 car fires with 520 fatalities. That equates to 0.1% of all of the registered cars in the US are involved in a car fire. Some were definitely arson, some were as a result of an accident and some were spontaneous. Some car designs were more prone to fires than others. The Ford Pinto was the big news in the 70s (fires in rear end collisions).
So, if you want to make it sound like a major problem, key on the 266,000 car fires in one year. If you want to make it sound like a minor problem, key on the 0.1% number.
Car fires can happen any where, any time under any conditions (driving, parked with everything off, etc). The battery supplies enough current to start a fire under the right conditions. Even though the headlights (for example) are fused at 20 amps, it can take only 1 amp in a high resistance short circuit to start a fire.
