synthetic clothings like the modern houses can literally completely burn in minutes. you have less than 5 minutes to get out of a modern home on fire or the toxic smoke from all the burning plastic of your half a million $ cardboard home will kill you. a "traditional" house made of wood leaves you up to 25 minutes to pack your shit and go, or simply try to extinguish the fire. i have a shirt thats now filled with holes because i used to smoke, it can't endure hand a second of a hand rolled cigarette tinder.
