Fire investigators can trace back the origin of fires. I know in some cases they can trace it back to a specific outlet in a home.
Would the investigators not be able to see the point of origin has a 24 inch concrete stake driven in to the ground? Would they not be able to see there was an overturned 4-wheeler? This story sounds so unbelievable that I’d expect trained investigators to be able to find the obvious holes (I swear, no pun was intended).

It's not even hard. When I had a fire in my apartment while I was away, the inspector simply was actually really nice when we went through an explained everything in the aftermath:
"See that "V" on the wall, that tells me the fire started here at this outlet. Note that the books you had on this shelf are charred, but not fully burned. Books are pretty lousy in terms of going up in flames. Note the books on this side, they're totally burned. Accelerant--you probably kept oil in the cupboard above them. You clearly had something heavy in this cabinet, cast iron? ..."
And he just went on and on as he walked through. If you ever want to try to commit insurance fraud by setting a fire .. don't. The inspector will know--he may not be able to prove it, but he will know.

Morals aside, people will do and quite a few will get away with it. Average Joe should not, but for every fire inspector there's a smart crook.
