Can torches cause fire?

Question

I was just about to dig myself a new basement to my wooden-home, when I suddenly figured that the ceiling was on fire (long story short, not even the cockroaches survived). The only thing I did was to place a torch underneath a wooden block, as I've done many times before without so devastating effects.

So I wonder, can torches ignite fires? If yes, always or only under certain conditions?

Answer

Torches can't cause a fire.

  • Are there burned trees in the neighbourhood? A forest fire might be the cause.
  • Did you hear a loud "flinging" sound? You could've been unlucky enough to have a ghast around.
