by the cigarrates
The book The Outsiders never says how the fire definitely started but Johnny does state that one of their cigarettes must have started it. As for where it happened, the fire started in an abandoned church on a hill in Windrixville.
Johnny and Ponyboy were hiding in it and they were smoking. They didnt put out the fire on their cigeratte so it made the church light on fire. Read page 91 in chapter 6 and even Johnny and Pony say they started it from a dropped cigeratte.
Mr. Rochesters candle had ignited the fire.
The firemen think it was a fire that started in the flue.
Johnny and Pony had to save the children inside the church because they thought it was their fault the fire and started, so when the kids went into the church, they were stuck inside because of the fire
They thought they dropped a lighted cigarette.
Ponyboy and Johnny went inside because they thought that they started the fire with one of there smokes
mr. rochesters candle
Ponyboy and Johnny thought that they accicently set the church on fire by smokeing and dropping it when they were hideing out from the killing of the Soc (Bob). They then went in to save the kids thinking the whole reason was because of them.
The Great Fire of London (1666) started on Pudding Lane and subsequently ended at Pye Corner -coincidence? -I think not!
Jane did think that it was Bertha Antoinetta Mason, Mr. Rochester's wife who had started the fire in the bedroom.
