In a season of the Golden Girls, I think it was season 4, Sophia had married Max and when they came back they opened a pizza/knish stand. A few days later, it burned down.

On an episode of Fresh Prince, I don't remember which season, I know it was a later one, Will was playing around trying to do a flambe. The flames got out of control and Will burned the kitchen down.

On an episode of Frasier, in season 3 The Focus Group, KACL had a focus group evaluate the station and give their opinion on the show. Frasier and the rest of the crew from the station, listened in on a two way mirror. Everyone had something positive to say except one guy. Frasier being Frasier, couldn't get over that one negative comment so he found the guy played by Tony Shaloub at his newspaper stand. In a set of circumstances, Frasier accidentally set the newspaper stand on fire and it burned down.

The Hogan Family- The house burned down in season 3.
And it was magically back to normal the next week. Even as a seven-year-old, I thought that was ridiculous.

Also on The Golden Girls, didn't Sophia originally come to live with D, B & R because Shady Pines burned down? And later there was an episode where Sophia was in question for starting the fire.

Another on The Golden Girls Rose's blind sister, Lily started a fire in the kitchen but either Rose or Blanche extiquished right away.

There was a fire on Seinfeld when Susan's parents cabin burned down because of Kramer's stupidity. Then the fire at Southfork on Dallas and also Doc Magoos burned down on ER. Third Watch was all about fires. There was also the boyfriend bonfire on Friends when the girls burned all their exes stuff and they had to call the fire dept. Then there was a fire in Phoebe's apt that was caused when Rachel was living there and it was her hair straightener. It resulted in the sexy line when Monica turned to Chandler and told him he would look good in that.

Yes Webster also had a fire. That happened about a quarter into the 2nd season in the episode called "Burn Out."

The apartment was caught on fire after Webster accidently burned it down from playing with his science kit after his parents told him not to.

King of the Hill had a fire at the Church after Bobby's conscience consumes him in the bathroom and he overate all of the new female reverend's fish patties or something. Cotton was initially blamed for the arson at the Church until Bobby's consciouness comes back into play and confesses to his mom and dad about him accidently burning it down.

Punky Brewster In the Season 2 5-part episode "Changes," Henry's downtown photography studio was destroyed in a fire, and it seemed for a time that he would not be able to recover from its aftermath and resume his career. Henry ended up hospitalized for a bleeding ulcer due to the stress from the aftermath of it.

TJ Hooker had an episode about an arson ring and the head was played by David Caruso.

Hunter had one called "Fire Man" about an arsonist who sets fire to warehouses with a blowtorch.

The Incredible Hulk also had two fire episodes, "On the Line" where David is accused of being an arsonist, and "Wildfire," where he discovers a villain out to set an oil rig on fire.
