Was there a hob / grill with a naked flame?  Was there a hair dryer left on?  Were there matches in the apartment?  A Lighter?  Do toasters spontaneously combust when not being used?  Was there a tumble dryer?  Did the McCanns smoke? 
Phone charger is a possibility and electrical wiring fault I'll grant you.  So, how many holiday makers staying in similar apartments have had their holidays curtailed by fires in their apartments caused by electrical wiring or phone chargers in the last 10 years? If it's a relatively high likelihood then there must be plenty of examples.

Was a smoke alarm fitted in the apartment?

Any fireman would tell you that it is unsafe to leave toddlers home alone even in a concrete apartment.

Here's a photo of a fire at a concrete apartment building in Portugal
A news report said people were "scooping up children in pyjamas and running into the street in fear for their lives".

I don't know about 5A, but after passing through dozens of homes in Portugal, I have yet to see one fitted with a smoke alarm. 

Hmmm.  Must check the DIY shop to see if they stock them.
What's up, old man?

A fire would be visible from the restaurant after a few minutes when all contents were really blazing.

It is properties let out for rental through organisations like MW  that I am interested in.
But specifically was 5A let out by Mark Warner or who ever without a smoke alarm fitted ?
That's a yes or no or I don't know not a "well if a sewing machine had bigger wheels it might be a car".

I would think Mark Warners would have had to comply to fire safety regulations wouldn't you?
