The saying "like a barnburner" originates from 19th-century America, referring to a political rally that was so lively and exciting it could be compared to the spectacle of a barn burning. The term is believed to have been popularized in the context of the anti-slavery movement, where intense debates and passionate speeches created a fervent atmosphere. Over time, it evolved to describe anything that is thrilling or highly energetic. The imagery of a barn burning captures the idea of something intense and dynamic.

Inside his Menlo Park laboratory, Thomas Edison worked on various inventions and experiments, including developing the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb, and the motion picture camera. It was in this barn that he revolutionized the way we light our homes and paved the way for the modern entertainment industry.
It is believed that Thomas Edison's barn burned down due to a cauldron experiment he was conducting in the barn. The experiment involved attempting to extract rubber from goldenrod plants, which led to a fire. Despite the barn burning down, Edison reportedly viewed it as a learning experience and rebuilt the facility as a research laboratory.

Thomas Edison was a slow child who took longer than normal to learn things. He developed learning difficulties which often caused him confusion. He was a slow student at school. At the age of 12 he lost his hearing and became deaf. However when he became deaf, his concentration massively improved as there were less sound distractions around him. He went on to become one of the world's greatest scientists and inventors.
Thomas Edison had a difficult childhood. When he was very young, he caught his family's barn on fire and was publicly whipped by his father as a punishment. He also suffered through illness which kept him out of school for quite some time. When he went back to school, his teachers thought that he was low on intelligence, so his mother took him out of school to home school him. He had to stop studying at the age of 12 and go to work.
Thomas had a hard childhood, for instance at the age of six Thomas was responsible for starting a fire causing their barn to burn. Thomas' punishment was to be publicly whipped by his father. Roughly a year after the fire incident, the family moved to Port Huron, Michigan where young Edison became ill and had to postpone his schooling until he was eight years of age. The schoolmaster at his school thought Edison to be and incredibly stupid and intractable boy. His mother however, seemed to have different thoughts on the matter. Disgusted at the school, she took her son out and took it upon herself to school the young boy at home. There, she exposed him to books at a far higher level than anyone of his age. Thanks to his mother's teachings, Edison's horizons of knowledge were not limited just to science, but also in such subject as philosophy, English, and history. By the time he was of age eleven, he established his own laboratory in his basement and via this he would acquire yet more of his skills.
You're mixing a few stories, which (unfortunately) Edison was also known to do. Thus, it is difficult to sort out which stories of Edison's early life were true, which were false, and which were exaggerations. Anyway, the two stories you are probably remembering are from Edison's fierce determination to study chemistry while working as a teenager. In the first story, Edison claimed that his chemicals started a fire in a train's boxcar, resulting in the train conductor slapping him on the side of his head while throwing him off the train*. In the second story, Edison spilled some battery acid while working as a telegraph operator. The acid dripped through the floor and onto the desk of his boss in the floor below -- resulting in Edison getting fired. I reiterate that it is difficult to discern the truth in either of these stories, as Edison was never consistent in relating his early life. * This was the FIRST story Edison told about how he lost most of his hearing. He later said a conductor grabbed him by his ears while Edison ran to get on a moving train. As both Thomas' father and brother were also quite hard of hearing, it is more likely that all of them lost hearing due to scarlet fever.
