In Germany, the Nazis used such an event to gain power.

Luckily, this will probably not happen here...

But why not setting the president palace on fire instead of the parliament?

It was a false flag event. I.e., faked by the Nazis.

There are theories about who caused it and this is one of them.

See the long text "Der Streit über die Täterschaft" here: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstagsbrand

There is no final proof for any of them.
