My guess is that the 2x4's used in construction today- especially in the roof trusses- act like kindling wood and go up in flames very quickly. During Pete Wahl's tenure, he made a big deal about four minute emergency response times. Apparently, these fires spread too rapidly for even that to be fully effective. Too bad better construction materials aren't in use.
Further, we rarely get any followup to these stories or the cause of vehicle accidents within the community.
