There was a small fire supposedly caused by a downed power line pole at the south end of town near Dora Milliken's house at 6:30am, that was the first reported fire that would become the source of the massive fire that burned the whole town. The fire department put it out quickly but supposedly they didn't make sure the fire was completely out. Around 9am at that location fire flared up again and started burning out of control, it burned slowly in that area for hours, gradually became bigger. Around 3pm that fire suddenly spread quickly northward into the town center, around 5:30pm the fire reached the town center. Many cars that were trapped by the police road block at the northern exit of Front street got burned by the fire.
There is a video filmed by someone on a boat off the shore, the video shows at start there was a lot of smoke at the south end of town, that area was smoothering for hours producing more and more smoke, then smoke expanded northward towards the town center, the whole process took many hours.
I have to look up the title and link to that YouTube video, it's a long video, easily can tell it's not fake. I will post the title here so you can watch it. I downloaded that video for record.

There were two options exiting Front Street where the cars were trapped by police, one exit was a street goes to northeast where there were small fires just outside the town at a distance, then there was another street exit to northwest where there was no downed powerline or fire. Police didn't allow cars to go anyway, so cars kept jamming in a long line on Front Street. Drivers who had been waiting in the jam decided to go for the run, they drove on the other lane and ignored the police roadblock, exited Front Street and drove northwest where they survived the fire.
Since 9am there was a lot of smoke from fire located at the southern end of town, police knew there was a fire there for many hours. By 3:30pm the smoke from the south end of town could be seen from many miles away, even from another island!! However, police stopped some cars that tried to run through the roadblock and ordered the drivers to go back onto the Front Street, back into the car jam line.
By 5pm at the southern end of the long line of car jammed along Front Street started to catch fire and explode, police at the north end of Front Street still didn't allow cars to escape. This is why so many cars along Front Street got trapped and burned, most likely with people burned alive inside the cars, because by the time they realize it's too much smoke outside it was too late, they couldn't see anything, soon passed out due to smoke inhalation.
