My question is... if I wasnt home, is it possible my house could of burnt
down? Because the burning smell kept getting worse and worse.

any info would be much appreciated.

Anything is possible, but it is unlikely. Some plastics can give off a
nasty smell from the tiniest bit of melting, but that does not mean there is
much fire. Housings are all made from materials that are treated not to
burn or not to burn without a source of ignition.
