Surely air-fryers should be made of non-combustible material or placed in a non-combustible enclosure.
Did this house fire REALLY start because of a turned off Air fryer OR faulty wiring?

The aren't combustible, it's the contents which catches fire, the grease from not cleaning them.
Indeed - and, as I wrote, 'electrical cause' seems to be at, or very close to, the top of that list.
That would be all very well if words such as "most likely" were to exist in their assertions about 'cause' - but that is often not the case. However, as I also wrote, that is probably partially 'our' fault for expecting/demanding a 'definite answer' every time!
Mind you, fires do not have a monopoly on this 'problem'. Over the years, I've quite often had a conversation with clinicians and pathologists, and a few coroners, about 'Cause of Death'. Neither a Registrar nor a coroner will accept a Death Certificate in which the Cause of Death 'certified' by an attending clinician or a pathologist (after autopsy) is qualified by "probably", "most likely" or something like that (even though that is not uncommonly the actual 'truth') yet it is very rare (and can only be done by a Coroner) for a Death Certificate to be issued which does not have an explicit (seemingly 'definite') Cause of Death.
