Minecraft random wildfires [closed]

I was playing Minecraft, and a random wildfire occurred near my house suddenly. I managed to put it out, but then a second one occurred a fair way off, I managed to put that one out, but then next thing I know, another fire started on my house! I didn't manage to put that one out in time, and my whole house burned down.

Can someone tell me why or how this happened?

Best Answer

There are many random lava falls that usually generate in the grassland biomes. Wood, wool and leaves are more likely to catch on fire than any other block. If it was inside of your house lava may be right under your home. There also is a high chance for a mine to be under there too. When building a house I highly recommend not building on top of a lava pit!

Why does my Minecraft house randomly caught fire?

The only way to prevent fire from spreading to something is to have all air blocks adjacent it to be out of range of the fire. If you can't, then you have to put another block there. (Another flammable block will do, but you have to block all of it's air spaces too.)
