There are a lot of angles on this question. From a fire science prospective the fire starts out slow and grows if there is enough air and things to burn. The fire continues to grow and give off heat. The heat gathers at the ceiling level and spreads and soon the entire room will burst into flame because of the heat. The fire then spreads to other parts of the house. IF there is not enough air, the fire will die down before it gets very big but the temperature in the room remains high. When air is allowed in, the fire suddenly erupts in a flash explosion.
