There isn't a whole lot of ground cover for burning in those areas, right? If there ends up being a massive fire there, it would be HIGHLY suspicious.
More than you think - Prescott is grasslands and looks almost like prairie
Phoenix is in the Sonoran Desert and is not bare dirt like Vegas - there is a lot of scattered brush and trees all over the desert out there.
The picture at the top of this is very typical of the whole Phoenix/Maricopa County area: https://www.phoenix.gov/parks/trails/locations/south-mountain
The fires may have been man-made, but the wind clearly spread them!
