      The book starts with a girl living in an orphanage out in the country who keeps setting fire to things on accident. She's the oldest girl and a teacher to the younger girls. She has a best friend that's a boy who lives nearby. A government inspector type comes to visit (in a horse and carriage?) the orphanage to find anyone with magical ability, as it is illegal, and she is found out and leaves with the man. I can't remember anything after that, and that's just the first chapter I think. Read around 2018, YA Fantasy.

      A Shadow Bright and Burning by Jessica Cluess?From the reviews it seems to match your description!
In this Victorian-era fantasy, sixteen year old Henrietta Howel, who is now a teacher at the Brimthorn orphanage in Yorkshire where she has spent the last eleven years, has developed an ability to magically set things on fire.
