This alley is the source of 86% of all student ghetto neighborhood-wide fires in Wizard City Hexcrawl. It is on fire, to some degree on average 2 days out of the week. This is largely due to its popularity as a location for street fights between rival wizard gangs.
But it also might be in part from leaking natural gas.
Wizard street fights are a messy affair.
