Those are both random event trigger spots. That's why. It's kinda weird but there's several spots in the game that spawn "random events." Generally, you just gotta go to the area, wander around it til it triggers an RE spawn, and just wait to see what the RE spawn ends up being. One of them is, of course, the firelance. I heard there was one for a giant ant but I've never seen that one. I'm not even sure it's real.
Not so random when you know where the spawn points are, I guess, haha. But firelance actually does have one of the lowest (if not the lowest) encounter frequency.
Oh...the spot around Vault 101 can frequently trigger the sniper RE. I forget his name...Sam Warrick I believe. That can be a pain when you're just coming out of the Vault but it can also pay off big. Kinda neat. What was the other really weird one...oh yeah. At the Super Mart sometimes the wounded deathclaw vs. man with schematic will spawn. Really dangerous early on but it does get you the schematic and toughest ingredient to one of the best weapons in the game really early.
