Fire was a major concern in ancient Rome. Arson was one cause, but human carelessness was another major cause. Fires would start from cooking in the tenement flats. A spark or unseen dropped ember from the brazier could set the whole building blazing. Oil lamps were another cause. A knocked over lamp with its oil and open flame could start a fire. Fires also tended to catch hold and spread quickly due to flammable building materials and personal possessions.
