 Here's some other cases where wicked people are destroyed by fire.  In each case, there are //no righteous remaining// at all.
-** City of Jacobugath **
+** Sodom and Gomorrah **
-The story is in 3 Nephi 9:9-11.
+See Genesis 19:24-25,27-28.
+Again, the destruction is complete, "all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground."
+** Nephite cities **
+There were lots of cities burned by fire: Zarahemla, Laman, Josh, Gad and Kishkumen.
+The story is in 3 Nephi 9:3,9-11.
+Here are the reasons for the city of Jacobugath specifically:
+  * "their sins and their wickedness, **which was above all the wickedness of the whole earth**"
+  * "their secret murders and combinations"
+  * "it was they that did destroy the peace of my people"
+  * "and the government of the land"
+  * "casting out the prophets"
+  * "stoning those whom I did send"
+  * "they did cast them all out"
+  * "there were none righteous among them"
+  * "I did send down fire and destroy them"
+  * "that their wickedness and abominations may be hid from before my face"
+  * "that the blood of the prohets and the saints whom I sent among them might not cry unto me from the ground against them"
+** Second Coming **
+Malachi prophesied that at the Second Coming, all the wicked shall be burnt.  See Malachi 4:1.
