Maybe a DEW hit the end of the building and instantly fried that section of wiring so fast the rest of the surrounding structure didn't have time to heat up and burn with it. DEW or lightning.
This is NOT evidence of DEW or anything similar. The false beams in that ceiling show a seam right down the middle. The false beam burned away leaving what looks like a laser trail. The reason the adjoining wood did not burn could be that it is sealed with poly and the beams were not. Also, the beams appear to be rough-cut lumber which would burn easier than the other wood.
Also, if you look at the top-down view of the exterior, there is no burn line.
That's pretty compelling evidence.

Electrical is run from the center beam for the light and fan fixtures. Did they overheat? If so, what caused it? Read my posting above.
