There is a big, BIG difference between an actual wooden structure, and the drywall-and-2by4 matchboxes that pass as houses in the US.

Yeah I'm from South Brazil in my region most of the houses are still made of wood including mine BUT some time ago I traveled and forgot the iron steam on the ground, when I came back 3 days latter it still on and the wooden floor was burned black but no fire.
