Vådeld - Translation of word

[Karen Van Etten]

Could someone help with a translation ?  This word appears several times in Södra Åsbo härads DomBok.  For example, see Södra Åsbo häradsrätt REG:1 (1683-1747) Bild 27 / sid 16 (AID: v115703.b27.s16, NAD: SE/LLA/10059).  Does vådeld combine 2 words - i.e., våda (misadventure) and eld (fire) ??  In this instance, does it mean the two men had their farms burned to the ground ?

Vådeld = accidental fire.
 
The word itself says nothing about how serious the fire was.

Thank you, Bo, for the translation.
