Here is one such light weight construction home.

Unsure how the fire started, here.

Another video, a homeowner had a fire pit on the
back deck, and left the hot coals.

Yes, I've heard that from a couple sources. Youtube has
some videos about "light weight construction". The homes
of now days are loaded with plastic and truss frame
construction. They go fast, hot, and collapse earlier
than the homes of years gone by.

The home owner or passerby on the spot int he first
minutes with a FE can be the difference between a mess
and a total loss.

The fire department women and men are world's finest
people, and they are also often several minutes away,
in the days of staff shortages, volunteer departments,
and congested roads.
