Multimillion dollar homes in Paradise Valley / Scottsdale don't just "go up in flames" so aggressively without notice from the neighbors. By the time Firefighters got there, it was fully engulfed. One would think, the Code Req'd Sprinker System would've suppressed it somewhat,... sounds like an arson or Ins Scam.
