Given what we know, we can confirm that based on the evidence found, someone deliberately set fires at different points around the warehouse.

Why do we think the fires were deliberate?

This has to do with the natural way in which fires spread. Fires that occur naturally or accidentally tend to concentrate in one place, then spread throughout the warehouse over time, however, this is not what the detective found. Instead, there are indications that multiple fires started simultaneously.

Therefore, given the very unlikely nature of this occurring naturally, we can confirm that based on the evidence found, someone deliberately set fires at different points around the warehouse.
