House fires can be more complex than people may realize. There’s a tendency for people to assume that fires are always due to things like open flames or cooking accidents. However, investigators also have to consider things like faulty appliances, poor installation, issues with gas lines, defective electronics, or even poor construction. It’s possible that the issues that led to this fire occurred long before the fire ignited. If nothing else, those possibilities should be ruled out.
