So, if a fire breaks lose when snow is around, can it eventually get big enough to engulf, say, apartment buildings?

Absolutely. In fact, in a snow storm, the wind will fan the flames and you could have the true nightmare - a fire storm in a snow storm.
The trick is that the fire is a localized hot spot while the snow storm is more generally distributed. So it might be snowing like a blizzard, but if a fire starts, has fuel, and is not in a position to be doused immediately by melting snow, it can grow to any size you would imagine. All you need is fuel, support (air), and that one spark that starts it all.

it can rage becuase snow comes with wind and wind power ups the fire. another thing is that apartment buildings have a lot stronger stuff to attract than just soft snow

i think no... because snow is water... it melts if there's heat :)
