From what I was reading about this specific fire is that it could have been accidental.

According to one of employees of the company, there were 47 workers inside the building at the time of the fire. All have been accounted for. One of those workers, according to a co-worker, was taken to an area hospital to be evaluated.

"It's magnesium, so when you spark magnesium, I guess one of the sanders must have sparked some dust, and it's real fast. One guy couldn't get out, and he got all full of soot and black smoke, he inhaled a lot of it, so they took him in an ambulance," described Victor Degandiaga, a worker in the building.
