A house is never entirely 'brick', there are always some flammable materials inside, wood for the floorboards, and the rafters for example, as well as things like furniture, and curtains.

When a fire breaks out, these flammable items spread the fire, the floorboards and rafters burn, the roof collapses inwards causing the brick walls to collapse too.
