Years ago there was a giant house fire on the side of an expressway near my home. The truck that was pulling it went of the road and something caused a spark. The woods didn't help, either
I vaguely recall driving past a plot (possibly in Tennessee) where they'd pulled the roof off a house in the woods and left it by the road to show how big the house was you could take away?! It's a totally different mindset to the European one.

Plug it into the septic tank and your propane generator and you have a house
Probably a combination of wooden house construction being so common and the legacy of portable housing for hydro dam construction.
