Maybe you live in new neighborhood. Last Summer a house a couple blocks from me burned, and while the fire dept. arrived quickly it was obvious that all the contents of the house were lost. Most of the neighborhood was built around 100 years ago so the structures have been through several generations of electrical wiring.
Also, when I was 13 my family's house had a fire and I lost all all of my possessions. I saw the remnants of my bedroom, but I don't think I ever got a real accounting of all that was destroyed. To this day I take photos of artwork and other objects and have (obviously) offsite data backups in case something happens. Its a very strange feeling to suddenly just have the clothing and objects on one's person.
