When a prairie fire approaches, farmers often set controlled burns, also known as backburns, to create a firebreak. This involves intentionally igniting a fire in a controlled manner to consume available fuel in the path of the approaching fire. By doing this, they help to stop the spread of the fire and protect their land and livestock. This technique can also promote healthier ecosystems by managing vegetation.

Extensive damage to a vehicle may result from various factors, such as mechanical failure, accidents, or environmental conditions, rather than intentional arson.

Thus, extensive damage alone cannot definitively determine the cause of a vehicle fire.
