Rekindle

Group,
Is a rekindle possible after 16 hours?
The first fire was called in at approximately 1030 on 6-14 the second fire at 0230 on 06-15.
This was a double wide mobile home that had waist high junk piled in the home along with a double roof with roll insulation.
The crews swear the fire was dead out when they left the fire scene from the first fire. No investigator was called to the first fire. Owners were home and it was determined the fire started in the kitchen.
I am having promblems with the time frame for a rekindle but would like to see if this is a possible cause of the second fire.
Thank you for your help.
