Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
After about a four month break from playing (and deleting my mods, then adding new, up-to-date ones) I decided to play again.
The first family generation I played, everything was normal. I'm not sure if they ever had one fire.
Then I started playing as their daughter and she first started a fire on the stove while cooking a grand meal at a dinner party. I attributed this to her having a low cooking skill and being clumsy.
Since then, I've played her for about five days and there have been around 12 more fires.
She is now at cooking level 6 and they currently have the best stove.
Her now husband also starts fires at the same frequency. He is at cooking level 3, so I don't understand what's going on.
I read on here that having a "fear of fires" can increase the likelihood of a fire and he currently has that fear. The woman I mentioned before does not have that fear.
I also don't have any bad lot traits.
I want to add that despite having the clumsy trait, my female sim has not started any fires on the dryer. It's always the stove.
They've also moved several times and have had different stoves since when it first started.
