Frankly, I don't understand the title but I'll tell you this:

For centuries, UK houses have been built with bricks and cement with only floors, dividing wall frames and roof joists being made of wood and covered with tiles. This fact meant that houses would not readily catch fire if the flames were outside.

More recently, houses have been built with wood frames for the entire structure but still (I think) with brick for the outer walls.

Anyway, in the majority of cases, a house fire would have to occur as a result of an internal flame.

Also note that Britain in general is subject to frequent rain. A typical hot summer lasts a week - not long enough to dry out vegetation as it would here in Greece and southern parts of America.

I see nothing unusual in the photograph, other than the ambiguous wording.
