Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
by Mildred D. Taylor.
A classic of middle-reader African-American literature. The fire involved is fictional but is connected with the very real history of lynching.
Shaken Days by Marion Garthwaite
.
A middle-reader novel by a writer who flourished in the 1950s and 1960s and to some extent specialized in historical fiction involving California. In this case, it's the San Francisco earthquake, and my recollection (but I could be wrong) is that it included an earthquake-related fire.http://librarything.com/profile/CurrerBell
