Why do Jem and Scout end up standing in front of the Radely house during the fire?

Answer 1

The children are sent to stand in front of the Radley house [during Miss Maudie's hous fire] because they're safe there, and out of the way. There's a big chance that the Finch house would catch from the blaze from Maudie's house, and the children need to be well away.

Answer 2

Miss Maudie Atkinson's home caught fire, and since her home was in close proximity to the Finch home, Atticus advised his children to go stand in front of the Radley House- far away from any potential danger. As Jem and Scout stand there, distracted by the blazing fire, Boo Radley places a blanket over the shoulders of Scout (which because her complete attention was focused on the fire she hadn't realized until Atticus questioned her about it later on that night). This is a profound example of the care that Boo Radley shares for the young children though afraid to express it directly and openly.
