Hello all. I'm in a realm that was started about a week ago, and over the past 2 days, random fires have started in my area. There is no clear source nearby, and they started from inside the house (the floors are made from wooden slabs. The only things underneath the slabs are torches for hidden lighting, and there are lightning rods on top of the house which are placed on stone slabs to prevent the roof catching fire. Does anyone know a possible source for the starting of random fires? Anyone please help, this has now happened 3 times within 24 hours, each time destroying a sizeable amount of my house.
I've looked all around the house, I've dug down 10 blocks from my house and cleared out the same sized area and there's no lava. There is no fire source anywhere near my house, these are just spontaneous fires that are starting from within the house. The screenshots uploaded show the oak logs of the sides of the house missing after the fire. I waterlogged my slabs on the floor to prevent a fire from the floor, but now the sides of the house are still setting on fire for no reason.

Many thanks to everyone.
Check for lava underneath wooden structures. Lava can cause fires above it through blocks and from quite a distance.

Then, since you mentioned it's a realm, I would suspect other players are trolling you.
