There are mixed opinions on what started the fire:

DEATH IN WACO - The Tear Gas - Chemical Isn't Meant to Cause Fire - NYTimes.com
Concerning the Fire there is another incidented where the Police corneded a group called MOVE in I think it was Philidelphia PA and the Tear Gas Gernades started a Fire that ended up burning down what was called a Whole City Block.
One would assume that the Police know that there is a chance of these things causing a Fire and made a decision to use them anyway.

There will always be unanswered questions as to what happend inside the Building as most of the Witnesses are Dead.

My comment was about if Law Enforcement were obligated to follow a proceedure that would have protected the Children.

As far as the 51 days of negotiations that was caused by the ATF not using common sense in arresting David first out side if the Compound. That led to an embarrassing stand off (and an expensive one).

If David had been previously arrested the People in the Compound would have had no Leader to follow and likely would not have resisted in the manner that they did.
