<<By the time I came back out of the house, there were flames coming out through the roof of the house.>>

A fire in an enclosed area such as a house will stay contained until it reaches the "flashpoint" that's, if I remember right, around 1700 degrees F. At that point it becomes almost an explosion.

<<then the baler when on fire and was entirely burnt up in just a couple of minutes...>>

My cousin was on a job where a D8 Cat hit a gas main. It only took seconds before the dozer started to melt.
