It seems interesting to me that the posted maps show no damaged or destroyed buildings at that location. There was one damaged and one destroyed building about 1 mile northwest of there and one destroyed building about 1 mile east.

If that was the origin of the fire, then how did it burn in two different directions? There is something more to this story.

100 mph winds + fireworks or other incendiary. (As simple as a spark from exhaust or chimney) or.. outdoor burning

Once a spark or burning ember gets airborne. I great big fire can result.

On high wind days, I witness a lot of sparks / embers coming from chimneys.

50 mpg winds can draw coals from my firebox and spew from chimney.... Each time I open the door to feed the fire.

A windblown ember that gets trapped under wooden eaves is another way a fire could sneak up.

Yes, I understand how the fire spread. But all indications I have seen say the wind was spreading the fire from west to east, and it was a very strong wind. So how could buildings northwest of the origin of the fire have ignited? Something is not making sense, unless there was more than one origin.

The sheriff mentioned that intersection (Marshall Rd and Hwy 93) as the general area where the fire originated. Nobody knows the exact point of origin yet.

That is the location where the burning storage shed was filmed. That's the reason they are investigating that location. The Sheriff is being vague, but it's a very specific location not a general area. That's where the news media saw the investigators working . 39.95581172983164, -105.23088067905874

Looks like it might be a mapping error. Those two structures have addresses (numbers 1192 and 1221) on Marshall Drive, not Marshall Road. The only Marshall Drive I see is a short neighborhood street near the affected Target/Costco shopping center.

Google maps shows an "1192" address with a driveway onto Marshall Drive, but gives the address as "1192 Red Ash Ln". Red Ash Ln is the next street to the east. At any rate, something is amiss with Google maps.
