But, what is the real cause of all these fires. Is it because there is no designated (with its own breaker) outlet for the golf cart? I know a number of people who have had to hire an electrician to install one. The question is, why isn't this standard procedure to install such an outlet when building these houses?

It is possible that if this house had the power shut off due to this fire and repairs are needed to the electrical system that a builder inspector would deem it uninhabitable regardless of the damage until said problem was corrected.
