It is described as a carnival because everyone was stepping out of there house to watch his house burn down. This is similar to when you go to a carnival. Everyone is standing around watching.

Answer:

<em>It shows they were all trying to witness what was happening</em>

<em />

Explanation:

In the text is established that everyone was turning on their lights to see what was going on.

Carnivals are parades with thousands of people all watching a show, there are a lot of lights and even fire for some shows.

This description compares the neighbors to the spectators in a carnival, compares the houses to the lights and establishes the fire as the main show.
