Hmmm, possible?

I'm with beardy on this. Look at how the riots played out 2 years ago. Having said that, that all happened pretty late in the day, when the real fire starting set off. So the streets were much quieter.

In the day, there would be a huge issue with cars. Having said that, most new buildings are built to contain fires and have built in fire protection, like sprinklers, fire doors, fireproof walls, etc.

Look at 9/11 as well (let's not get into conspiracy stuff, whether true or false). There was some huge reasons to start a city wide fire. However, it didn't happen, simply because the buildings are built to withstand that sort of temperature.....I'm on about near by buildings taking the heat of a flame. Let's not go to huge extremes and start believing they can withstand a meteor from space. But a typical fire.....they can withstand those.

An older building city, like Chester, would be much more dangerous in a city wide fire situation, because so many of the buildings are built of wooden frames.
