Cloths close to the socket may have contributed to the flames spreading quickly throughout the property. "Probably [the fire started] in the fan. They would have received an overload, some cloths on top of the socket that spread the fire, it spread to the ceiling, quickly burning the house", explained delegate Rodrigo Azevedo.
