Homes may have been built in places where there is a lot of lightning. Ocala may have less lightning activity.
Construction differences may increase the chances of a fire in homes here. If construction was different in Ocala then the number of fires may be less.
There might be more attention here. We have the local paper and a couple of prolific posters here pointing out the fires caused by lightning. Perhaps there are as many fires in Ocala but fewer individuals drawing attention to them.
