There's no word yet on what caused the fire.
Fire Wichita
It is a coincidence that this fire mysteriously erupted after the reports of aerial noises. It's winter there so things would not spontaneously combust.
Reminds me of the 1871 fire storm that ripped through the upper mid-western U.S. [Link] . Observations at the time and subsequent to the event suggest that Earth passed through the tail of a comet, or what remained of that comet, which had visited the vicinity of Earth several times before.
Mrs. O'Learys' cow was not responsible for the Chicago fires.
