Because there was a lot of wood used in construction. Fire was a major concern in ancient cities and Rome was no exception. In addition to the flimsy wooden construction of many buildings, many of the general population was unaware of the flammability of the combination or certain materials under certain conditions. There were two Great Fires of Rome (that we know of) and many smaller blazes that were extinguished before they did too much damage.

Why is Nero murderous?
Nero was called evil because during his reign of Ancient Rome, he set fire to the entire city of Rome and watched it burn, as some said he played his fiddle. He blamed the fire on Christians. Nero wanted to be a musician rather than a emperor and he felt that Rome didn't appreciate that so he often visited to other regions to play for them. He also watched too many area competitions when he had to focus on Rome. When his mother pointed that out to him, he had her murdered.
