    It shows they were all trying to witness what was happening

    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.
