Could there be a change in conditions, like a strong wind perhaps, that could come in and cause smoldering fires to flare up at once like this?
Not a firefighter here, but genuinely curious.
Not a firefighter either, but my answer is that it's unlikely. Strong winds would have impeded the growth of tiny fires into big fires by lowering the temperature of the fuel. Have you ever tried to use a cheap lighter when there's a decent breeze out? Wind only accelerates a fire if the oxygen it provides produces more heat than the wind flow takes away. That's part of why strong winds are so dangerous l when wild fires are already big.
