It's like everything cought on fire, everywhere, all at once.
Every house is simultaneously burning still from the inside, even before the roofs are engulfed or the flames and smoke escape the windows. It's like some wizard cast an magnifying bonfire spell onto every kitchen fire or stove in the town square radius.
Are those thatched roofs though, they don't look like thatched roofs to me, they look more like wood or maybe bamboo (some also seem like they might be slate but it's a bit hard to tell).
