Chaim has already explained what the fire was, a warning call from G-d.

According to the Talmud every great natural disaster is a warning sign from Hashem.

That portion which I posted from Shabbat 119 lists several other opinions as to what tragedies will occur for various transgressions.

I believe that there is a Pirkie Avot on this topic also... I will list the relevant portion:

Quote
Pirkie Avot Chapter 5 Mishahs 8-9

8. Seven types of retribution come to the world, for seven types of sin. When some tithe and others don't, a hunger caused by turmoil ensues: some are hungry, others have their fill of food. When all are unanimous in their failure to tithe, a hunger by drought ensues. For not separating chalah, an annihilating hunger results.

Plagues come to the world for those capital crimes mentioned in the Torah that have not been given over to the court, and for desecrating the produce of the sabbatical year.

The sword comes to the world for the procrastination of justice, the corruption of justice, and because of those who misinterpret the Torah.

9. Carnage by wild beasts comes to the world for false oaths and the desecration of G-d's name.

Exile comes to the world for idol-worship, sexual promiscuity, murder and the failure to leave the land fallow on the sabbatical year.

There are four time-periods when plagues increase: on the fourth and seventh years [of the sabbatical cycle], on the year following the seventh, and following the festivals of each year. On the fourth year, because of [the neglect of] the tithe to the poor that must be given on the third year; on the seventh, because of the tithe to the poor that must be given on the sixth; on the year after the seventh, because of the produce of the sabbatical year; and following each festival, because of the robbing of the poor of the gifts due to them.

http://torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/chapter5-11.html
You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

And the Midrash Shir Hashirim 2:5 even refers to a fire near Haifa as being a sign of impending Redemption!

This fire was not a natural disaster but arab terrorism. It was a muslim-made disaster.
but, whatever way round you count it, the muslims still have to pay.
