Article by a news organization on a recent house fire included:
Cause mentioned, though made to general public that most won't understand anyway, is kind of pathetic and leaves actual cause wide open to speculation.
Use of electric space heaters may or may not have contributed - they never mentioned them at all, though a very cold night (it was -20ish that night) can increase the chance of space heaters being involved. If space heaters were not involved, it likely could have happened any day of the year as I see it.
Probably true the origin of the fire appeared to be related to wiring.Family members said they have been told by firefighters that the fire was started from wiring. It is a very cold night and was drawing a lot of voltage with heat.
...the fire marshal listed the cause of the fire as “resistive wiring.”
