Why do fires often happen after earthquakes?
A number of buildings have fires in one place or another much of the time. A cook stover or water heater will be burning in one place or another. Normally this is safe. When an earthquake happens, buildings collapse. A fire that was contained in a regular room suddenly gets out of hand with wood all over the place. Wood that was in walls now burns. Fires ignite. Pipes that firemen would use to hook up hoses also break. Fire hydrants do not work. Fires spread from building to building. Several blocks can burn down before things get under control.
